A state-by-state look at effects of Oct. snowstorm

A state-by-state look at some of the effects of the late October storm that shocked the Northeast over the weekend with up to 30 inches of snow. The wet, heavy snow accumulated on still-leafy trees and snapped off branches or toppled them altogether, taking down power lines. More than 1.7 million people were still without power Tuesday, and at least 23 deaths, including one in Canada, are blamed on the storm through traffic accidents, electrocutions or other causes.

— CONNECTICUT: About 677,000 customers still without power, down from more than 830,000, a number that broke the state record set by the remnants of Hurricane Irene in August.

Passengers stranded for seven hours or more on tarmac at Hartford's airport after being diverted from New York-area airports. At least four deaths.
