As communities across Massachusetts and neighboring states recover from a historic blizzard that dumped over 40 inches of snow in some areas, assistance is pouring in from neighboring regions. New York and Vermont have dispatched workers and snow-clearing equipment to help with the massive cleanup effort. While major highways are beginning to open, frustration is growing among residents dealing with unplowed side streets, particularly in Fall River, which has extended its travel ban amidst ongoing cleanup. Schools in Boston are set to reopen after additional vacation time due to the storm, while the city of Fall River continues to urge patience among its residents. Despite the challenges, volunteers have stepped up to aid in the recovery process, showcasing community resilience as conversations shift to the impending snow threat that looms over the Northeast.
