Power outage in Lovington from heavy ice storm
A weekend ice storm knocked out power in the west Lovington area and rural regions. Lea County Electric Cooperative crews of about 20 worked overnight to restore service after ice laden conductors and broken cross arms failed. The outage disrupted noon meals and halted cotton harvest, with damage and yields expected to fall further after a strong start earlier in the season.
