U.S. utilities were working to restore power after the storms moved on from their service territories but some were still dealing with high winds.
Most outages were in North Carolina, with over 175,000 customers without power, followed by Virginia, Maine, Tennessee, and New York.
Nearly half of the 50 U.S. states counted more than 10,000 customers with outages due to the storms. During the holiday weekend, the storm is expected to bring blizzard conditions to the Great Lakes region, heavy rains followed by a flash freeze on the East Coast, wind gusts of 60 miles per hour (100 kph) and bitter cold as far south as the U.S.-Mexico border.
The utility with the most outages was Duke Energy Corp (NYSE:DUK) with over 158,000 customers without power in North and South Carolina.
