In Egg Harbor Township's LaCosta Lakes development, power went out around 3 a.m. Monday during the height of the storm. Neighbors there said they were struggling to stay warm while waiting for service to be restored.
"I get all my blankets out!" Maggie Mansi said.
She was still without electricity and frustrated by the lack of visible repair work in her neighborhood.
"They said 12, but nobody on Ridge Ave. is trying to fix the trees on the streets - nothing," Mansi said.
Around the corner, two trees fell on Julie Walters' property, including one that landed on top of a work truck. Walters said the weight of the snow caused the damage.
"It got so heavy it cracked. So half of it cracked, and the other half cracked. That's what made me start crying. I loved that tree," she said.

Walters said she also lost power and has been relying on limited resources to get by.
"I got a text from Atlantic City Electric. They said midnight tonight. We have a gas stove, so I lit the burners. I've been boiling water," she said.
Elsewhere in the township, Ocean Heights Avenue was closed Monday afternoon because of low-hanging power lines. Atlantic City Electric said it activated its emergency response organization and is working to restore service as quickly as possible.
Storm damage was also visible in Stratford, Camden County, where trees were seen on wires and cars. One resident there said the outage had stretched on for days.
"It's been almost three days now without power. House is low 40s. 45, 46," he said.
Gov. Mikie Sherrill addressed the widespread outages during an update Monday morning.
"Thirty-five thousand are still without power, and while we're working to get them online as fast as possible, we know having everyone else restored isn't enough," Sherrill said.
Atlantic City Electric provided an update Monday afternoon, saying it expects most customers to have power restored by Tuesday night.
The company said customers with the most severe damage are expected to be back online by Friday, if not sooner.
