The most powerful nor’easter in nearly two years has left mountains of snow in some parts of New England and killed at least two people.
The storm dumped 2 feet of snow in some areas, leaving tens of thousands of people without electricity on Friday.
Naples, Maine, around 30 miles northeast of Portland, received at least 27 inches of snow, with parts of Maine having intense snowfall at a rate of 3 inches an hour.
Over 100,000 homes and businesses were in the dark in Maine at the storm’s peak, with officials warning that it would take days to restore service.
The storm, which began on Thursday, also left thousands of residents in New Hampshire without power on Friday.
“It went from just a garden-variety, low-pressure system to a turbocharged storm,” meteorologist Eric Schwibs said.
