The Blizzard of 2026 was moving out to sea Monday night. What’s left behind in its wake is a complete mess. One to three feet of snow with drifts twice as high.
Hundreds of thousands without power. Telephone poles snapped, wires were left hanging, trees and limbs down, cars left stranded.

The total in Boston as of Monday evening was up to 16.9″.
This puts the city over 60″ for the season, the first above average snowfall season in four years.
This is also the most snow Boston has received in a season since that insane winter of 2014-2015.
