MARQUETTE – Thousands still without power this morning in the central U.P. in Marquette County following last weekend’s historic blizzard.  Upper Peninsula Power Company (UPPCO) says those without power should plan for their outage to extend through this afternoon due to significant drifting and blowing snow, which has impeded restoration work.  More than 30 inches of snow fell in the Marquette County yesterday and Sunday.
