You may have received an email from PECO with helpful links and tips to get through the storm in case of an outage. If not, I have added the information below.
From PECO:
PECO is closely monitoring weather forecasts and preparing for potential snow and winter weather this weekend. Our crews and employees are taking steps now to be ready to respond quickly and safely to any outages that may occur.
It is also important to take a few steps now to be prepared and know how to stay connected with us ahead of any possible severe weather or outages.
Stay in touch.
If your lights go out, we offer several ways for you to report your outage. Save these links and numbers now so they are easily accessible if you need them.

Stay Safe.
Always stay away from damaged electrical equipment, especially downed power lines and tree limbs that may come into contact with power lines.
Don't connect your generator directly to your home's wiring. Never use a generator indoors or in an attached garage. Read and adhere to the manufacturer's instructions for safe operation.
