The low pressure center will continue to move northward through
Newfoundland and Labrador during the day, with snowfall ending in
northern Maine early today. Morning temperatures will be bitterly
cold across New England as temperatures dip into the single
digits. These cold temperatures along with ongoing winds will lead
to wind chills of 15-25 degrees below zero Sunday morning across
interior portions of New England and New York. Gusty winds may
also lead to blowing snow across northern and eastern Maine,
leading to reduced visibility and difficult driving conditions.
This will be the last Storm Summary issued by the Weather
