A blustery nor'easter that dumped over 2 feet of gloppy snow across pockets of the Northeast has left more than 1 million utility customers from Maryland to Maine without power.

Massachusetts had the most residents in the dark, with electricity cut to more than 304,000 customers as of Thursday morning. New Jersey was the second hardest hit, with more than 229,000 customers powerless.

Meanwhile, commuters were facing delays, hundreds of flights were still grounded, and communities were enduring yet another tedious and dangerous cleanup as the snow brought down trees and power lines.

It was déjà vu for the same region across the I-95 corridor that was hit last Friday by a deadly nor'easter — one that cut the lights to more than 2 million from Virginia to Maine.

The nor'easter on Wednesday brought a wide range of snowfall across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast, from just a few inches in parts of Delaware and Maryland to over 2 feet in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.

New York City's Central Park was hit with less than 3 inches of snow, but the rain mix fell like confetti, blanketing streets and sidewalks with a thick sludge.

Witnesses also reported lightning and peals of thunder across the region during the snowstorm — a rare phenomenon called "thundersnow." At its peak, the nor'easter was projected to have snowfall rates of up to 3 inches an hour.
