Massachusetts Faces Ongoing Recovery After Historic Blizzard
After a historic bomb cyclone blizzard that dumped up to three feet of snow across Massachusetts, recovery efforts are underway. Governor Maura Healey lifted the travel ban in certain areas, but urged residents to stay off the roads as snow removal continues. More than 250,000 residents were left without power due to the storm, which also caused widespread school closures, with many districts remaining closed. Reports indicate that the blizzard brought gusting winds and impacts as severe as hurricane force in some areas, causing treacherous travel conditions and stranding several motorists. Meanwhile, another snowstorm is expected to hit the Northeast later this week, adding to the challenges faced by communities still digging out from the snow.
