Fox News:

Tens of thousands of homes and businesses who just recently regained power are again in the dark after a new storm hit the Northeast, a week after Superstorm Sandy knocked out power to millions in the region and left dozens dead.

The nor'easter brought down tree limbs and electrical wires, and utilities in New York and New Jersey reported that nearly 60,000 customers who lost power because of Sandy lost it all over again.

The Long Island Rail Road, one of the nation's biggest commuter train systems, suspended all service again after struggling over the past several days to get up and running in Sandy's wake. Airlines canceled at least 1,300 U.S. flights in and out of the New York metropolitan area, causing a new round of disruptions that rippled across the country.

"I know everyone's patience is wearing thin," John Miksad, senior vice president of electric operations at Consolidated Edison, the chief utility in New York City, said.
