Nor'easter and blizzard risk, not hurricane-landfall risk
Brookline's real, current winter-weather risk is nor'easter/blizzard exposure rather than direct hurricane-landfall risk -- the Jan. 30-Feb. 2, 2026 nor'easter is a real, recent, dated statewide event -- see massachusetts.js metrics.hazards for the fuller disclosure.
