The storm system grounded hundreds of flights and clogged up highways on Wednesday. Over 350,000 electric customers lost power.

Thursday afternoon, when most families would prefer to be cooking turkeys or watching football, at least 251,175 power customers are in the dark. That total includes homes in 10 states, from Maine to Virginia.
