BOSTON - Sunday, January 31, 2021 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today declared a snow emergency ahead of the forecasted winter storm that is scheduled to begin tomorrow morning and end Tuesday afternoon. Total snow accumulations are expected to range between 8 to 12 inches, and winds as high as 45 mph are expected. Residents are advised that a parking ban will take effect starting at noon tomorrow, when vehicles parked on major roads and main arteries will start to be towed. The City is urging residents to abide by snow regulations and encouraging all commuters to use caution when traveling during the Monday evening and Tuesday morning commutes. Dry weather, paired with colder temperatures and wind chill, are anticipated on Wednesday and Thursday following the storm. "I
am urging everyone to be ready and prepared for tomorrow's forecasted
snowstorm," said Mayor Walsh. "All of our residents and workers
should take precautions on our roads and sidewalks, particularly during the
Monday evening and Tuesday morning commutes. Our Public Works Department will
be working around the clock to pre-treat and clean our roads, and I thank
them for their hard work. We are asking residents and businesses to do their part
by staying safe, shoveling their sidewalks and walkways, clearing catch
basins and the area around fire hydrants, and by offering help to your older
neighbors and residents with disabilities. The City of Boston will continue
to share updates throughout the storm."
Boston City Hall will be open to the public on Monday, February 1st only for residents who need to pay their property taxes or file an abatement application by the February 1st deadline. Boston City Hall and all City departments will be open to the public on Tuesday, February 2nd. We encourage residents to utilize our online services when possible. Boston Public Library locations will be closed on Monday, including in-person BPL To Go services. All BCYF community centers will be closed, remote programming will continue and registered lap swim sessions will be cancelled from 12 p.m. on. The Public Works Department (PWD) will have equipment to pre-treat Boston's roads prior to the snowfall starting, and the City has the ability to put over 700 pieces of equipment on city streets. The PWD currently has 42,000 tons of salt on hand. The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is in constant contact with the National Weather Service to receive detailed forecast updates for the City of Boston and to ensure City departments have plans in place to handle the weather.
