Hundreds of thousands still lack power after northeast storm
LA TimesA car heads away from a large tree that fell on electric lines and landed blocking a road Friday in Derry, N.H. Snow showers lingered Friday as the cleanup began after a major spring storm that brought heavy snow, rain and high winds to the Northeast, left hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses without power and contributed to at least two deaths. The weather service said it was the biggest April nor’easter — a type of storm with winds blowing from the northeast that either exits or moves north along the East Coast — to hit the region since 2020. “It’s special to get snow in April and to be able to get out and enjoy it,” said Jane Phillips, cross-country skiing in her neighborhood in Portland, Maine. “It’s fun being a Mainer.” Associated Press writer Perry reported form Gilford, Rathke from Marshfield, Vt.
