News account from Nantucket:
The powerful coastal storm that canceled school, boat and plane transportation to and from the island continued to pound Nantucket at noon [March 26], knocking out power to over 1,000 customers as high winds and blowing snow reduced visibility to near whiteout conditions, and drifts piled up against buildings and fences...
Just after 10:30 a.m. Milestone Road had been blocked by the State Police, and visibility was near zero due to driving snow and high winds. Drifts were already higher than the rooftops of vehicles on each side of the road, reaching six feet in some places.
