Nearly 23,000 Massachusetts lost power Saturday afternoon as a powerful coastal storm swept across the region. By Sunday, some parts of the state could have up to 18 inches of accumulation.

By 4 p.m., rain had turned over to snow across much of the state, with some having the first flakes falling late morning. The combination of heavy, wet snow and high wind gusts made for the perfect conditions for fallen tree limbs and downed power lines.
