What Boston meteorologists are saying about the timing and impacts of the nor’easter

Precipitation and gusty winds will be winding down today as the storm system pulls away. It will feel more like early February today rather then early April with temps in the mid 30s, and wind chill values in the mid 20s. #MAWX #CTWX #RIWX pic.twitter.com/Nv8nrA835l
