Massachusetts is being blanketed by a massive snowstorm, with forecasters warning of up to 24 inches of accumulation through Monday. The storm has already brought significant disruptions, including widespread flight cancellations and power outages.
As the storm intensifies, residents are being advised to stay indoors and avoid travel unless absolutely necessary. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has declared a snow emergency, which includes parking bans on major roads and main arteries. Residents are encouraged to move their vehicles from these areas or risk being ticketed and towed.
Schools across Massachusetts have canceled classes for Monday, January 26, with many districts also canceling sports and activities. The storm is expected to cause significant delays in trash and recycling services, but some neighborhoods will not be affected.
Flight cancellations are piling up, with over 15,000 flights canceled nationwide since Saturday, according to FlightAware. Boston Logan International Airport has reported almost all flights canceled Sunday afternoon and evening, as well as Monday morning.
Meanwhile, power outages have impacted parts of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, with more than 5,000 people in the state experiencing disruptions. Residents are advised to check their utility companies' websites for updates on service restoration.

. And don't even get me started on the power outages, like 5k people already affected... I'm just waiting for the updates on my phone to tell me that they're going to be without electricity for weeks 
... like, how many times have we been told to "prepare for prolonged disruptions" already? Can't the forecasters just give us a straight answer? Are we gonna get 24 inches of snow or not?! 
Meanwhile, I know some neighborhoods are gonna be fine and all that jazz, but what about the rest of us who have to deal with flights getting canceled and power outages? It's like, can't they prioritize anyone for once?!
. And schools canceling classes because of the snow? Like, I get it, but what about the kids who have to go to school anyway?! It's all just so... snowy 
️. I live like 2 hours away from Boston and we're getting slammed with the snow too 
. Power's been out for like an hour now and my phone's been freezing all morning 
️. Anyone else dealing with this crazy storm? We need some serious hot chocolate to get through this 
.
. Plus, I'm all about that cozy vibe – hot chocolate, blankets, and a good book are calling my name 
. Bring it on, winter storm! 
, hope everyone stays warm and safe. I'm also kinda annoyed that flight cancellations are piling up so fast, my buddy's got a wedding to attend in Boston next weekend and now it looks like it might get canceled 
. On the bright side, maybe they'll finally fix those potholes on the highway 
.
. And power outages? No heat, no hot showers...not fun 
. Boston's being super practical with the snow emergency though, at least they're not leaving anyone high and dry 
. Just hoping everyone stays safe and warm through this one 
i remember when i was a kid in massachusetts it never snowed this much anymore. anyways, i heard that some neighborhoods are exempt from trash & recycling services so that's good to know. anyone have any tips on how to stay powered up during an outage? got my generator ready but still wanna make sure lol
