DALLAS (AP) - An electric utility says all power has been restored following a snowstorm that affected more than 500,000 Texas customers.

Oncor Electric Delivery on Tuesday had all customers back on line.

Oncor says crews late Monday completed restoring power to the Dallas-Fort Worth area after last week's snow that that brought down trees and dragged along power lines.

Oncor says some customers could have spotty outages in the coming weeks "until weakened and damaged limbs or trees are removed."

The winter weather included a record 12.5 inches of snow in the Dallas area by last Friday.

Oncor operates the largest distribution and transmission system in Texas, delivering electricity to more than 3 million homes and businesses.
