A powerful winter storm has descended upon New England, bringing with it extreme cold temperatures, dangerous winds, blizzards, snow squalls and hurricane-force winds. Tragically, a 23-year-old mother sustained serious injuries and her infant was killed when a tree was knocked down by the winds. The National Weather Service has warned of “once-in-a-generation” wind chills and advised people to stay indoors and dress in layers to protect against frostbite and hypothermia.
