Bad news for Northeast residents left in the dark after this weekend’s unusual Halloween snowstorm: it may be days before all power is restored. More than 3 million homes and businesses in the Northeast lost power; by now, utility companies have been able to restore at least a million of those, but officials warn that the rest will have to be patient. Downed trees and power lines cover the street in some cities such as Hartford, Conn., where trick-or-treating may have to be put on hold to keep kids safe.
