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.
After the storm, New England will still experience bitter cold, though: The low in Boston is expected to be 10 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday, with a wind chill of minus five degrees Fahrenheit. Forecasters predict Boston temperatures won't be above freezing in the next week.
