UPDATE: The numbers in this article have been updated from Sunday morning to reflect more current numbers as of 2:40 p.m. EDT.

The lights —and more importantly, the heat— are still out for hundreds of thousands of homes throughout the Tri-State and New England areas. Most report having had no power since Saturday afternoon. Downed trees and power lines as well as icy roads continue to delay the recovery process.

The good news: Temperatures will rise into the mid-40s and 50s Sunday for most of this region, according to AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Brian Edwards.

The bad news: Edwards said these numbers are still about 15 degrees below normal. Also, melting snow causes concern for re-freezing when temperatures dip at night, which causes black ice.
