Every conceivable event, public occurrence and gathering throughout Greater Nashua, from a basketball game to the Hudson School District Deliberative Session, was postponed or canceled hours, sometimes even days, in advance.
The same thing happened elsewhere, too: sorry, Bruins fans.
Stores were besieged Thursday, when the storm that some called Nemo was barely past the Great Lakes. Their shelves emptied of almost everything, many shut early on Friday.![]()
