A rare May nor’easter storm struck New England on Thursday, leaving thousands of people without power in Massachusetts and disrupting flights at Boston Logan International Airport ahead of Memorial Day weekend.

The storm brought dark skies to the region during a time of the year that typically sees more sunshine, while temperatures plummeted to below 50 degrees Fahrenheit in Portland, Maine; Providence, Rhode Island; and Montpelier, Vermont.
