WALTHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - Thousands of homes and businesses were without power Tuesday morning after a major winter storm battered the Bay State.

As of noon the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency reported more than 2,000 customers were in the dark.

The majority of the outages were concentrated in Essex, Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Plymouth, and Barnstable counties.

In Waltham, power lines and trees could be seen knocked to the ground on Warwick Avenue.

“The whole house shook,” one resident recalled. “I thought that a tree fell on the garage, so I looked out the window and saw the pole on the ground.”

A winter weather advisory remains in effect for the majority of Massachusetts after more than a foot of snow fell in some communities.
