UPDATED: October Snow Storm Brings Damage, Outages to Dedham

More than 1,100 residents were still without power Sunday morning after the early-season winter storm Saturday night.

Halloween may be coming on Monday, but the snowfall left by Saturday night's winter storm - one that prompted Gov. Deval Patrick to declare a State of Emergency - created more of a winter landscape around the state Sunday morning, including Dedham. 

But despite the scenery, a number of downed tree limbs were reported in town over night. And as of 8 a.m. Sunday, NSTAR reported that 1,157 customers were still without power in Dedham (about 10 percent of NSTAR's customer base in town). 

Update, 3:12 p.m. - As of noontime Sunday, NSTAR's number of residents in Dedham without power increased to 1,201. To see town-by-town outages, click here.
