POWER : Millions of people
from Maine to
Maryland were
without power as an unseasonably early storm dumped heavy, wet snow
over the weekend on a region more used to gaping at leaves in
October than shoveling snow. The snow was due to stop falling in
New England
late Sunday, but it could be days before many of the more than 3
million without electricity see it restored, officials warned. At
least three deaths were blamed on the weather, and states of
emergency were declared in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and parts of New York. The storm
worsened as it moved north, and communities in western
Massachusetts were among the hardest hit. Snowfall totals topped 27
inches in Plainfield, and nearby Windsor had gotten 26
inches by early Sunday. “Look at this, look at all the damage,”
said Jennifer Burckson, 49, after she came outside Sunday morning in
South Windsor
to find a massive tree branch had smashed her car’s back
windshield. Trees in the neighborhood were snapped in half, with
others weighed down so much that the leaves brushed the
snow.
