Boston residents are slowly reclaiming their routines after a powerful blizzard blanketed the city in 23.8 inches of snow this weekend—the seventh-largest snowstorm in the region’s history and the first officially recorded blizzard in four years. The U.S. National Weather Service reported wind gusts reaching 70 mph, paralyzing public transport and forcing businesses to close.
CGTN Stringer Nick Sneider documented the aftermath in a vlog, showcasing snow-covered streets and interviews with locals navigating icy roads and delayed subway services. “It’s like the city pressed pause for a day,” one resident told Sneider, while others shared creative ways they adapted to the disruption.
Though major thoroughfares are now clear, neighborhood sidewalks remain challenging, and officials urge caution. The storm’s economic impact is still being calculated, but small businesses and gig workers were hit hardest. Meanwhile, social media buzzes with snowy snapshots and stories of community resilience as Bostonians turn a weather crisis into a shared story of recovery.
