As of 7:45 a.m. Saturday morning, Central Maine Power reports that more than 142,000 customers surrounding Portland and Augusta are still without power.

The storm dumped more than a foot of snow on some parts of Maine ahead of a busy travel weekend, with tens of thousands of travelers expected to visit the state to view the total solar eclipse Monday.
