A snow emergency and parking ban for the city of Boston goes into effect at 10 p.m., Mayor Wu announced in a Monday morning press conference. Boston public schools, city buildings, BCYF and public libraries will all be closed Tuesday.
In the middle of the storm, a snowblower keeps sidewalks clear on Summer St. in 2018. that could drop up to a foot of snow on the city. Boston public schools, city buildings, BCYF and public libraries will all be closed Tuesday.
City trash pickup will still take place Tuesday, said Franklin-Hodge, but crews will begin garbage collection at 4 a.m. to get ahead of the heavier snow. Massachusetts has enough equipment and road treatment for Tuesday, but plows may not be able to keep up with the predicted rate of snowfall during the heart of the storm, according to Department of Transportation Highway Administrator John Gulliver. The state is coordinating with New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island on trucking restriction, he said.
"This nor'easter will be quick, but it will pack a punch," said Franklin-Hodge. In addition to the 8 to 12 inches of snow expected in the Boston area, the storm aligns with high tide. That means there will be significant potential for coastal flooding.
