PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. --
Dominion Virginia Power and NOVEC power crews are assessing storm damage this morning and working to restore power to thousands of customers who lost power during Wednesday's heavy snow.

As of about 10:30 a.m. Thursday, over 100,000 Dominion customers in Northern Virginia, including over 2,000 in Prince William County, were without power.

NOVEC was reporting 13,101 customers without power in Prince William County and 92 in Manassas Park Thursday morning.

Officials with both power companies said most outages were caused by trees and limbs falling on power lines during the storm.

Dominion said most customers would have their power restored by 6 p.m. tonight. NOVEC said the majority of their outages would be repaired by this evening, and a few hundred by tomorrow."
