In smaller cities and towns, particularly those near the vulnerable coast, roads had turned into rivers. The Federal Aviation Administration issued temporary ground stops at Dulles for about an hour Friday afternoon because of the high winds, and, at one point, the Dulles air traffic control tower was evacuated. In other pockets, the storm dropped large amounts of precipitation, including heavy snowfall, or its winds pushed in seawater during high tides, inundating bayside neighbourhoods. Communities like Quincy found themselves increasingly attuned to the tide, which was wreaking the most havoc in seaside cities. With the winds and most of the precipitation abating, Saturday's noontime tide may be the last vestige of this storm.
