Boston Hit Worst By Blizzard, More Snow to Come

The New England city of Boston, Massachusetts continues to get walloped by winter storm Juno on Tuesday, dumping feet of snow while other northeastern states avoided the massive winter storm.

A blizzard warning was in effect in Boston until 8 p.m. eastern time, warning of massive snowfall that could result in over 30 inches of snow in some areas. The warning spanned from eastern and southeastern Massachusetts to all of Rhode Island.

According to the Associated Press, the storm's strong 70 mph winds coming off of the Atlantic Ocean heaped feet of snow into the Boston area. Nantucket reported 78 mph winds, while Martha's Vineyard reports 72 mph winds, and residents in some coastal towns were forced to evacuate as strong waves hit the sides of their homes.

"It felt like sand hitting you in the face," Bob Paglia, who lives in the small town of Whitman south of Boston, told the Associated Press of the strong winds.

At least two feet of snow is expected in several parts of Boston, and Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has warned that the storm is not yet over.

"We fully expect that there are parts of eastern and central Massachusetts where people may get [...] another 5 to 10 inches of snow," Baker said Tuesday, adding "And there are areas around eastern Massachusetts, at this point, that you would probably describe as being in a whiteout-type condition."

Other states, including New Jersey and New York, were also expecting to get walloped by the storm but had such a docile outcome that the states' public transportation was opened earlier than expected Tuesday.
