By noon, snow was falling steadily, accompanied by gusty winds.
Many people were out clearing sidewalks and driveways with snowblowers and shovels.

"My neighbor got this for free. He goes to Florida for the winter, so I get it for the winter. The price was right."
Scattered power outages were reported throughout the region as winds took down tree limbs and, with them, power lines.
