1. Police Blotter: Boston cops say suspected crack dealer pointed gun at them (bostonherald.com) — Boston police report a suspected crack dealer in Mattapan allegedly pointed a loaded handgun at officers before being arrested, with drugs and ammunition seized.

2. Whipping winds batter Boston, prompt cancellations at Logan Airport - Boston News, Weather, Sports (whdh.com) — Strong winds from a nor'easter battered Boston Saturday evening, with harbor gusts near 50 mph and some flight cancellations at Logan Airport, though many planes still departed. Power outages remained minimal, and some residents even ventured out to watch dramatic crosswind landings. Local TV meteorologists urge residents to keep following updates as the storm evolves.
3. Windsurfers Make The Most Out Of The Nor'easter In South Boston (iheart.com) — While many Boston residents hunkered down during the nor'easter, windsurfers flocked to Pleasure Bay Beach in South Boston to ride gusts up to 60 mph. Enthusiasts, including one who drove in from Belmont, said the spot feels safe and thrilling when the wind is right. Dozens took advantage of the wild conditions for high-speed runs across the water.
4. Jumbos Knock Off UMass Boston, Wentworth Saturday (gotuftsjumbos.com) — Tufts women's volleyball swept UMass Boston and Wentworth in a Saturday tri-match hosted in Boston, extending the Jumbos' winning streak to four.
