LEWISTON, N.Y. -- You've heard of snow days. How about a raccoon day?

That's what some students in western New York got Wednesday, thanks to a nosy critter that got into a utility company's power equipment.

The Niagara Mohawk power company said a raccoon got into the equipment Tuesday night, causing damage that knocked out power to more than 5,000 customers in the towns of Lewiston and Porter, just north of Niagara Falls.

2. My guess would be well done...

Probably crispy around the edges...

And smelling of burnt hair.
