DEDHAM, Mass. — A powerful winter storm that started raging Sunday morning dumped nearly two feet of snow in parts of Massachusetts. Additional snowfall was expected on Monday.
Up to six inches of fresh snow was expected on Monday for some, with the state’s biggest snowstorm in years continuing through the evening.
A winter storm warning is in effect for Massachusetts until 8 p.m. tonight, and communities across the state cancelled school on Monday morning.
Driving was slow and slick on snow-covered roads Monday as plow crews worked overnight into the morning to keep up with the storm.
Nationally, more than 10,000 flights were cancelled as snow, sleet, and freezing rain threatened nearly 180 million people.
