When the power went out the FBO lost it's radio AND telephone. There was no way to call them. The JetBlue flight was also blocked in by other airplanes and couldn't taxi. If they could taxi, much of the airport was unplowed, taxiiway signs covered, and visibility so low that the tower couldn't see them.
