LITCHFIELD, Maine (AP) - Some homes and businesses from Maine to Michigan and into Canada that have been without electricity since last weekend's ice may not get their power back for another day - or longer. Related Stories May be Friday before power restored in some areas Associated Press Coming snow could slow power restoration efforts Associated Press Thousands in Maine remain without power Associated Press Ice storm leaves 500,000 without power in US Associated Press Utilities in Michigan reported 105,000 customers without power Friday morning, while those in Maine reported more than 36,000 and Canada more than 101,000. Bangor Hydro Electric in Maine is advising people it will be the end of the day 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." Central Maine Power, with more than 24,000 customers still in the dark early Thursday, hoped to get power back for most by the end of the day but acknowledged that some will still be without electricity on Friday. More than 100,000 were without power at the storm's peak. More snow was forecast Thursday for Maine and parts of Michigan, and frigid temperatures were expected to keep ice from melting off power lines and tree branches, posing new risks for outages. From 2 to 6 inches of snow could fall in parts of Maine. Ashley Walter, 27, was still hunkered down with her husband, Jacob, and their month-old daughter, Leah, at a shelter set up in a school in Litchfield, Maine.

If your gifts didn't arrive on time to place under the tree this year, United Parcel Service might be to blame. The nation's largest package carrier failed to deliver all packages to consumers by Christmas Eve, deflating the holiday spirit for some irate customers. In a statement, UPS said it simply could not keep up with last-minute shipments as "the volume of air packages in our system exceeded the capacity of our network." READ: Global Champagne Sales Fall Flat The company spokeswoman called it "a perfect storm" of problems, blaming the delays on the normal surge in deliveries this time of year, the compressed shopping season, and the growth of e-commerce that increased demand for shipping right before the holiday. An ice storm that backed up air travel in Dallas also didn't help matters. Although UPS said only a small percentage of packages didn't make it to their destinations on time, consumers are not pleased. They took to social media, creating a series of hashtags including #UPSdelays and #UPSfail. @JeremyEich You didn't deliver mine and now my 10 year old doesn't get his present. #upsfail - The Mac (@themacinator) December 25, 2013 Thanks @UPS for ruining Xmas. Does a promised delivery date not mean anything to you? #upsfail - Tejas Mehta (@tpmehta) December 25, 2013 @UPS. @UPSHelp @UPS_News sadly the clock has struck midnight and you failed to deliver my package by 12/24. #UPSFail

"Freeskiing is an extreme sport that requires a lot of skill and endurance. As with any extreme sport, there is a high level of danger and you need to be an expert to engage in the more difficult activities. Most of us think of skiing as the stuff we do when we go to a mountain resorts and make our way down carefully groomed slopes. Some of the black diamond slopes are certainly more challenging, but nothing really compares to the experience of freeskiing. This is far cry from the bunny slope where you first learn how to carve and stop. Back in the early 1990s, a number of extreme skiing professionals adopted the freeskiing term. Only the more adventurous athletes were involved in this daring activity. The basic concept revolves around skiing down an extremely steep mountain slope that is not groomed. That means you are heading down through trees, rocks, cliffs, and all sorts of other obstacles. These types of slopes are generally only accessible by helicopter or hiking. The general public may be skiing at a nice resort, but the extreme athletes are searching for mountain peaks."
