The heavy snow falling along much of the mid-Atlantic Coast into New England is expected to taper off Friday as a nor’easter heads into Canada, leaving bitter cold in its wake, the National Weather Service said.
By early morning, the snowfall was nearly finished in the nation’s capital; it was expected to stop by late morning in New York City, where 6 inches were covering Central Park, and by early afternoon in Boston, which got socked by nearly 15 inches.
North of Boston, residents of Topsfield, Massachusetts, got nearly 2 feet of snow.
