Postcard From the Nor'easter: So Cal Edison's Newest Worker
Workers with Southern California Edison who are back east this week helping out with the post-Hurricane Sandy recovery are experiencing some weather that's not quite the usual L.A. mildness thanks to the snowy nor'easter storm that hit Wednesday.
