Bostonians are breathing a sigh of relief as their city emerges from one of its most intense winter storms in recent history. 🌨️ The January 29 blizzard dumped a whopping 23.8 inches of snow – making it the region's seventh-largest snowfall ever recorded and the first official blizzard since 2018.
Whiteout to Cleanout
Winds howling at 60 mph transformed streets into snow tunnels over the weekend, paralyzing public transit and keeping even the hardiest New Englanders indoors. But by Monday, the city resembled a snowplow ballet as crews worked overtime to clear roads.
Life in the Snow Globe
CGTN's Nick Schneiderman documented the post-storm scene in a viral vlog, showing buried cars peeking out like icebergs and residents trading shovels for selfies. While kids celebrated impromptu snow days, commuters faced epic waits – some buses took three hours to complete normal 30-minute routes!
Meteorologists confirmed this nor'easter checked all the blizzard boxes: visibility below 1/4 mile for over three hours and sustained 35+ mph winds. As Boston returns to normal, locals know this winter drama will fuel conversations until… well, until the next big storm hits. ⛄
