wow. got power Maggot? you OK Cars? Cannongal?
(CNN) -- Two are dead, more than 1 million households were without power and thousands of air travelers found themselves stranded Saturday after a freak fall snowstorm hit the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
An 84-year-old man was napping in a recliner at his home in Temple, Pennsylvania, on Saturday afternoon when part of a large, snow-filled tree fell into his house and killed him "instantly," according to a state police report. With numerous downed trees in the area, rescue crews took two hours to "safely remove the victim."
Another person died while driving in Colchester, Connecticut, Gov. Dannel Malloy said.
Predicting the system could dump as much as 18 inches of snow in some spots, Malloy joined New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick in issuing emergency declarations for their respective states.
"It's like a blizzard, you can't see far at all," CNN iReporter Alban Ajro, 32, said Saturday night from Watertown, Connecticut. "This is the first time that I can ever recall this kind of storm happening before Halloween."
