Gnashing, numbing, persistent wind picked up again Tuesday afternoon, following a morning where gusts of up to 60 mph damaged buildings and trees in New England and dropped the wind chill to below 0.
The wicked wind slowly subsides Tuesday evening and our wind chills won't be quite as brutal at night. It will be another cold night, though, with lows in the single digits and teens in the north and in the 20s south. The wind chills will be just a few degrees colder.
