LITCHFIELD, Maine — Some homes and businesses from Maine to Michigan and into Canada that have been without electricity since last weekend's Winter Storm Gemini may not get their power back for another day — or longer. Bangor Hydro Electric in Maine is advising people it will be the end of the day Friday before its more than 11,000 customers are back on line. The number has fluctuated as some people get power back while others lose it. The utility said downed trees are the biggest problem facing line crews. "We've had two beautiful, sunny days in Maine and the ice isn't going anyplace," said Lynette Miller, spokeswoman for the Maine Emergency Management Agency. "They're very concerned about more weight coming down on trees that are already compromised by ice."
