About 7,400 York County residents were still without power today after Tuesday's Blizzard of 2017 swept through the Northern Seacoast.

Lebanon escaped any serious power disruptions, however, and today shows none still in the dark, while Berwick still listed 676 households without power and North Berwick listed just 12.

Hardest hit in York County was York, itself, which still lists more than 7,000 without power.

Meanwhile, Rochester and Milton also escaped unscathed, with Eversource reporting today no outages in those two towns, however, Strafford still had 49 homes without power. The combination of dry snow which didn't cling to trees and only moderate winds helped keep power outages down, while coastal areas that got more ice than snow helped topple trees and power lines.

Kittery and York were two of the hardest hit, with Kittery outages still at about 5,500 today.

Rochester, Milton and State Police reported no serious accidents while Sanford Police reports show five accidents between 4 p.m.-9:30 p.m., four that had personal injury.
