Holiday storm could have been worse
STORY HIGHLIGHTS

- One person tweets, "My mom is chopping breadcrumbs with a flashlight"
- Maine resident without generator tells WMTW he hopes outage is short-lived
(CNN) -- Chopping breadcrumbs by flashlight. Cooking turkeys on the grill. Watching Netflix on phones.
Many New Englanders were without power -- but not initiative -- as tens of thousands of residents woke up Thursday to find the lights out.
In Vermont, more than 193,000 customers were without power as of Thursday afternoon.
"They're saying it will be a multiday event," Fallon Reed, the assistant operations chief for the New Hampshire Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Management, said.
In Maine, there were as many as 110,000 customers without electricity on Thanksgiving morning, but by 2 p.m., Central Maine Power Co. reported that 51,100 customers had no power, while Emera, the state's second-largest utility company, reported 1,800 customers without electricity.
Some areas wouldn't get power back until Friday, Emera said on its website.
There were about 27,000 customers affected by outages in Massachusetts, according to the websites of the four major power companies.
"I don't have a generator, so I don't want this to go on too long. I would just like to keep it at a few hours at the most," Portland resident Harley Bassett told CNN affiliate WMTW-TV.
Travel tips for the storm delays
Thanksgiving travel: Snow and rain The outage is being blamed on a nor'easter that blew wet snow onto trees and power lines, the station reported.
Kelly Gordon, who lives in New York, tweeted early Thursday that her mother was improvising.
"Power is out at parents house in Maine, so my mom is chopping breadcrumbs with a flashlight. She's worried turkey will freeze. #holidaypro," she wrote. In a later update Gordon noted the electricity -- and the turkey cooking -- was back on.
More than a dozen cities saw a foot or more of snowfall, while Hartford and Lewiston each saw in excess of 15 inches, WMTW reported
