At a Glance: The Latest on Sandy Recovery Efforts

Excerpt:

— FORECAST: A strengthening storm moving up the East Coast with snow, sleet, rain and wind gusts as high as 60 mph is expected to spread through the region through Thursday. Storm surges of about 3 feet are possible, far lower than Sandy's but still capable of damaging on vulnerable shoreline. — POWER OUTAGES: More than 675,000 homes and businesses, mostly in New Jersey and New York, down from a peak of more than 8. 5 million. Figures from Sandy have fallen greatly but may start rising. — CONNECTICUT: State's largest utility sends line workers and tree trimmers back to work as snow and winds start. Power outages: 8,300. — MASSACHUSETTS: Up to 4 inches of snow expected in western and central Massachusetts; Cape Cod and neighboring islands under high-wind warning. Outages: 7,700. — NEW JERSEY: Crews push sand back onto beaches to protect areas flooded by Sandy's surge.
