Sunshine graced the region Friday, following blizzard conditions that dropped a foot and a half of snow in New England and eastern New York. Temperatures were cold, though, in the teens that felt even colder with the wind chill.
The National Weather Service said East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, and East Hartford, Connecticut, each got 19 inches of snow in Thursday’s storm. In New York, Voorheesville and New Scotland got 18 inches.
Utility crews worked Friday restoring power outages on Cape Cod.
