Storm cuts power to a million customers in East

CONCORD, N.H. — The winter storm plodding across the Northeast has left more than a million homes and businesses without power.

High winds combined with heavy snow were helping bring down power lines Friday.

About 330,000 homes and business have lost power in New Hampshire alone. Even the state Emergency Operations Center in New Hampshire is operating on a generator.

A total of nearly 800,000 more customers are in the dark in other states from Maine to Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
