| A powerful blizzard struck Boston and surrounding New England on Tuesday, leaving some 4.5 million people grappling with as much as three feet of snow and coastal flooding but sparing New York City residents who had braced for a significant blast.
Snow was forecast to keep falling today in eastern New England, possibly setting a record snowfall in Boston. At Logan International Airport, 23.3 inches of snow was on the ground early evening, swept higher in parts by strong winds.
"There are drifts now of four, five and six feet in some places," Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker said. "This is clearly a very big storm for most of Massachusetts."
A statewide travel ban was scheduled to be lifted at midnight but Massachusetts residents were urged to stay off the roads if possible.
Boston-area trains, buses and subways were set to resume normal service on Wednesday but delays were predicted for the morning commute.
