NB Power crews are still working to restore power to thousands of people across the province following high winds, heavy rain and freezing rain.
The utility says more than 3,000 customers remain without power as of early this morning, down from more than 10,000 customers yesterday.
About 1,000 of those customers are in the Kennebecasis Valley and the Sussex area, while the rest are in eastern New Brunswick.
