Many of the more than 1 million Northeastern homes and businesses plunged into the dark by a storm had electricity Monday, three days after the hard-hitting combination of snow, rain and hurricane-force winds.

The weather was mostly calm Monday in New Hampshire, where some 360,000 residential and business customers were without electricity at the height of the storm, but blustery weather temporarily increased some outages in Maine and slowed restoration efforts.

In Maine on Monday afternoon, the number was about 10,000 customers without electricity for Central Maine Power, the state’s largest utility, down from about 12,700 just before noon Monday and about 1,000 fewer than what had been reported 12 hours earlier.
