New York ( CNN ) -- New Jersey resident Becky Fisher said Tuesday that she 's counting the favors she 'll now owe her neighbors after a powerful snowstorm left her family and more than a million others without power across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states . Fisher , along with her husband and their 6-month-old daughter , have been camped out at a neighbor 's house in Maplewood , New Jersey , since the weekend storm coated her home in snow and knocked down trees and power lines across the region . `` There are just pockets of those who have electricity , '' Fisher said . `` So we 're using our neighbors ' goodwill . `` We 'll owe them lots . '' Fisher said they first lost power Saturday and were forced to relocate to her neighbor 's house the following night as temperatures dropped to just above freezing . Fisher said that while she and her husband are accustomed to cold weather , they did n't want to risk it with their child . `` Every time I call ( the state 's utility provider ) , they say the ticket 's open , '' she said . `` Initially the message ( of when power would be restored ) was for Wednesday night , then Thursday , and now maybe Friday . `` Luckily , we have nice neighbors , '' she added . By Tuesday evening , about 195,000 New Jersey residents remained without power . Meanwhile , temperatures in parts of New England were expected to hit the low 50s Tuesday , which could be considered balmy to some who braved the October snowstorm that dropped more than 2 feet of snow in some places over the weekend . But while temperatures are on the rise for parts of the Northeastern United States , more than 1 million residents were still in the dark , dealing with widespread power outages . On Monday , officials warned it could be Friday before power is back on everywhere . At least 15 deaths have been blamed on the weekend storm , which prompted emergency declarations from the governors of New York , New Jersey , Connecticut and Massachusetts , and also canceled Halloween trick-or-treating in some areas . President Barack Obama signed an emergency declaration for Connecticut Monday , ordering federal aid to supplement state and local response efforts . Gov . Dannel Malloy on Tuesday said he was not satisfied by the number of crews coming from out of state , CNN Hartford affiliate WFSB reported . By Tuesday evening , about 612,000 Connecticut residents remained without power , down from a peak of 830,000 , according to the state utility company . More than 900 crews were restoring electricity . About a dozen Massachusetts cities postponed Halloween celebrations , according to CNN affiliate WGGB . At least 20 Connecticut cities and towns , including the capital , Hartford , canceled events or asked parents to wait until later to take their kids trick-or-treating , according to CNN affiliate WFSB . Malloy and his wife , Cathy , said they will be leaving the lights off . `` No amount of candy is worth a potentially serious or even fatal accident , '' the governor said in a statement . In Worcester , Massachusetts , officials asked residents to postpone Halloween celebrations until Thursday , when temperatures are expected to climb to 60 degrees . Trick-or-treating , the city said , would `` put families and our youth in harm 's way as they negotiate piles of snow and downed limbs . '' In Springfield , Massachusetts , school officials announced classes would be canceled for the week . Some of the heaviest snow fell in Massachusetts , Connecticut , New Jersey and New York , but snowfall amounts of at least a foot were recorded from West Virginia to Maine . The Berkshire County community of Peru , Massachusetts , received 32 inches of snow during the storm . In Massachusetts , state officials said utility crews had come from as far as Louisiana and Texas to help . About 256,000 people remained without power Tuesday evening , according to officials . Elsewhere , about 77,000 customers were without power in Pennsylvania . Thousands also lost power in New Hampshire , Maryland , Virginia and West Virginia , according to figures from emergency managers and power companies in those states . About 128,000 were affected in New York . As of Monday , authorities reported at least 15 deaths blamed on the storm . Three people died in Massachusetts , officials said , including a Lunenberg resident who died in a fire and a resident of Hatfield who succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning , apparently from an improperly vented generator . The third death happened in Springfield when a man in his 20s ignored police barricades surrounding downed power lines and touched a metal guardrail , which was charged , city fire department spokesman Dennis Legere said . Four people also died in New Jersey because of the storm , police said . Two were killed in motor vehicle accidents , one in Bergen County and one in Passaic County , while two others died after trees fell on their cars . In Connecticut , four people died , officials said . They included one person who died in a traffic accident in Hebron , a second who died in an accident on Interstate 91 in Hartford , one who died in an ATV accident in Enfield and one who died of carbon monoxide poisoning while trying to heat their home , also in Enfield .
