Nor'easter brings snow and high wind leaving thousands without power

The MBTA temporarily suspended ferry service Thursday morning amid high winds from a nor'easter barreling through New England.

The transit agency sent out an alert around 7:00 a.m., and regular ferry service was restored at noon.

Service was paused on the Mattapan Trolley due to a downed tree on the tracks between Cedar Grove and Ashmont stations, according to a social media post from the T. Shuttle buses replaced service between Ashmont and Mattapan for over an hour while crews cleared the tracks.

Meanwhile, high winds and wet weather left thousands without power Thursday morning. Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency reported more than 27,700 customers without power around 9:15 a.m., with outages spread across the state from Western Massachusetts to the Cape.

The Cape and Islands experienced the highest winds of the morning, according to reporting from the National Weather Service. Wellfleet saw winds as high as 73 mph around 7 a.m., and a 67 mph gust was recorded at the Nantucket Airport.

Boston's Logan Airport recorded a 55 mph gust. Logan officials had warned travelers on Wednesday to expect delays Thursday. Logan has had 121 flight cancelations over the past 24 hours as of 11:00 a.m., according to flight tracking website FlightAware, and there was an average delay of 51 minutes for departures at that time.

While the Boston area is seeing mostly rain and sleet, towns along the northern edge of Massachusetts got snow.  Pepperell, a town on the border of New Hampshire, had 3.3 inches of snow by 6 a.m., according to NWS. Plainfield, in the western part of the state, accumulated 6 inches as of 8:30 a.m.

Worcester received 3.2 inches of snow by 8 a.m., according to the most recent NWS data. The Woo Sox, the minor league baseball team based in Worcester, postponed its game due to snow, the team announced on social media. The game is rescheduled to Friday.

Northern New England was predicted to see heavy snow, with some places getting over foot.
