RICHMOND, Va. Dominion Energy crews worked to restore power to more than 9,000 customers in the Richmond Metro/ Tri-Cities area Friday morning following another round of winter weather.
Dominion said the continuous icy conditions are causing challenges that could lead to several days before power is fully restored.
Crews were on scene of several locations where power lines came down causing outages.
One location was on the 2000 block of Broad Rock Boulevard, where a branch came down on the line.
Why power crews call this ice storm one of the toughest restore jobs in recent history
Dominion Energy crews continue to work long hours to restore power in hard-hit areas south of the city of Richmond down to communities near the North Carolina border. As of late Monday afternoon, less than 19,000 customers in the Richmond Metro/Tri-Cities were still without power.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. The lone sound echoing off law books at the Central Library in Chesterfield Monday afternoon was the gentle click and shuffle of Nicole Wilsonâs Rubikâs cube.
It is a hobby she picked up last year and one that has helped fill free time over the past three days.
