A powerful, massive storm that brought a mix of heavy rain, damaging winds, sleet, and snow, has now moved off the coast, but the passage of a cold front accompanying the system has led to a dramatic dip in temperatures. The wind-chill factor on Christmas Eve on Saturday morning, Dec. 24 is below zero degrees in most of the region.
