Winter weather: Patience runs thin after nor'easter knocks out power

A one-two punch of nor'easters left more than 800,000 homes and businesses in the dark Thursday evening. Trees and wires are down from the mid-Atlantic to Maine. Some have been struggling to stay warm for almost a week.

Thousands are without power in Morris County, New Jersey, because of things like downed trees and downed power lines. One family was hit especially hard.

Mickey Stanek and her daughter, Emily, have been huddled in their living room near the fireplace, living in the dark at their Morristown home since the first nor'easter last week.

"It has been a lot of miscommunication," Emily said. "We probably would have packed up and gone somewhere if they didn't keep sending us updates that things would be back in place."
