BOSTON (AP) — A major nor'easter pounded the East Coast on Friday, packing heavy rain, intermittent snow and strong winds as residents from the mid-Atlantic to Maine braced for coastal flooding. The Eastern Seaboard was expected to be buffeted by wind gusts exceeding 50 mph, with possible hurricane-strength winds of 80 to 90 mph on Cape Cod. Also, heavy snow fell in Ohio, upstate New York on eastward. Boston south to Rhode Island is forecast to get 2 to 5 inches of snow from the late-winter storm. The front edge of the storm dumped up to a foot of snow on northeast Ohio, with strong winds leading to power outages and school closings. Republican Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker activated 200 National Guard members to help with the storm.
