The Weather Channel reported on Thursday that Grayson has ushered in “major coastal flooding,” as tides have risen, causing both flooding and snowy weather — a potentially lethal and problematic mix.

Weather.com has more about the situation on the ground:

Storm surge poured into the streets in towns like Scituate, Massachusetts, flooding the roads with partially frozen salt water. In the town of Rockport, The Weather Channel storm tracker Jim Cantore watched as water levels rose quickly Thursday afternoon and threatened to wash away several parked cars that were left behind.

North of Plymouth, fire crews in the town of Duxbury were responding to water rescues in flooded areas, and a house fire was reported, the town’s fire department said in a tweet Thursday afternoon.

It’s a dire scenario and one that is sure to leave plenty of ice behind once the waters retreat.

Downtown Hartford is a car-free, transit-only winter wonderland today. Lots of shops are open thanks to downtown housing & owners/staff living local. Working remotely from cafes & doing daily shopping without issue. #WinterStormGrayson #bombcyclone #livelocal #HartfordHasIt pic.twitter.com/xJR2c2cbOU
