CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A blast of wintry weather has left hundreds of thousands of people in New Hampshire without power, and it could be days before it's switched back on.
Public Service of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative report nearly 250,000 homes and businesses were without power.
New York is taking a wintry hit as well, and more than 180,000 customers are without power in the eastern part of the state. Flood watches are in effect for parts of Long Island and Manhattan.
Farther south, parts of Louisiana and Mississippi are shaking off a layer of snow, a rare occurrence in sections of the Gulf Coast states. Forecasters there are warning that freezing temperatures could make for treacherous driving conditions.
