Major April Winter Storm Disrupts Power for Hundreds of Thousands in Northeast

Cleanup and restoration efforts are in progress as the storm moves on, leaving extensive damage and power outages in its wake.

A significant April winter storm has impacted four states in the Northeast, causing widespread power outages and hazardous conditions.
Heavy snowfall, with some areas receiving up to 2 feet of additional snow, and gusty winds have battered the region, leading to tree damage and power outages affecting over 257,000 people in Maine alone.
Cleanup efforts are underway as the storm moves on, but hundreds of thousands remain without power, with restoration efforts expected to continue into early next week for the hardest-hit areas.
Avalanche warnings have been issued for parts of New Hampshire, and localized coastal flooding is possible in Downeast Maine due to prolonged onshore winds.
Utility crews from multiple states are working around the clock to restore power, and warming centers have been opened for affected residents.
