Gallery›Digital Commonwealth — Boston Public Library›Fighting The Northwest Gale in downtown Boston yesterday meant holding your hat, leaning forward and struggling to move. The wind, measured in gusts of up to 51 miles an hour, at times brought pedestrians to a full stop. Cold weather, with the mercury down to about 20 degrees, added to the discomfort.
