Major wind gusts over Hurricane force hit Mass and NH last night, along with 2-4 inches of rain. It caused a lot of power outages ages and some roofs were ripped off houses. Many trees were toppled, especially on the north shore. The storm was as strong as a category 2 Hurricane for a time last night! The storm is still stalled to our south, and throwing scattered snow and rain showers our way. Any rain in Boston will change to snow showers, and we may pick up an inch my mid-morning Saturday. Then, another powerful storm will come up the coast and may graze the region with a few inches of snow on Sunday night. A bigger storm is possible around Wednesday.
