New England digs out after blizzard
Despite lackluster conditions in New York City, Boston and the surrounding parts of New England received plenty of snowfall on Tuesday — some parts of the region received almost three feet of snow.
At midnight on Wednesday, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker lifted the state travel ban, and Boston's MBTA transit system has resumed service. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said he hoped the city's major roads would be cleared on Wednesday morning so the snow emergency could be lifted.
