Discontent grows as thousands wait for power

MARSHFIELD — Frustrations started to show Monday as thousands of residents went another cold day without electricity and heat following this weekend’s snowstorm, while government officials criticized NStar for not being more responsive to customers’ need to know when power would be restored.
