When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Record Numbers of Workers Are Raiding Their 401(k) Savings A divergent economy has given people record retirement savings and more need to dig into them.

A record number of workers are raiding their 401(k)s, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Take Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" for instance. Republicans provided $150 billion more for the military, while at the same time taking food away from literal children and kicking 10 million people off their health insurance.

That was a choice. They prioritized war at the expense of food and health.

Roxbury we would love for you to join us. Starting at Fenway High School and meandering up the hill to First Church Roxbury, join us with a traditional horse and cannon procession through the heart of Roxbury,featuring partners and residents,reenactors from across the northeast, and local musicians.

Enormous gratitude to our incredible @streets.boston.gov teams who hauled over a thousand truck loads of snow overnight. 💪

Welcome back, @bostonschools.boston.gov students! ❄️

Thank you to our snow management crews, bus drivers, school staff and BPS families who worked so hard to make sure our students could safely return to school yesterday morning.

Thank you to all the volunteers who helped keep our streets clear, accessible, and safe for everyone at the Love Your Block shoveling meetups yesterday. 🤍❄️

One-on-one with Boston mayor in wake of historic blizzard The mayor talked about the city's efforts to improve the snow removal process and how her administration's ultimate goal is safety.

This is helpful to clarify! Boston has the same rules: City is responsible to clear near City properties, State does state (incl MBTA), & private owners responsible for sidewalks outside theirs. City workers (& seasonal contracts) clear our areas mostly with bobcats & snow blowers vs paid shoveling.

Yesterday was the 1st time the City has done large-scale daytime snow removal—holding the parking ban to give crews max space to work. Across daytime & overnight, we hauled away almost 1500 truckloads of snow (25,000+ cubic yds) to clear main roads & school zones. TY to our hardworking City teams 🙏

The sun is out, the air is crisp, and it’s time to do your part to help keep Boston safe and accessible.

Officially the BLIZZARD of 2026

A map of Boston showing a snapshot of where the snow plows are, according to their GPS trackers. Many green circles and triangles representing the vehicles dot the map.

We’re in the heart of the storm now until early afternoon—winds gusting 50+ mph & snowfall at 2+ in/hr. It’s impossible to keep roads clear under whiteout conditions, but we have 900+ plows & trucks out keeping roadways manageable until we can really clear once the snow slows. Stay in & stay safe!

Ending homelessness requires creating permanent supportive housing AND direct, constant, compassionate outreach every day & night. Thank you to all our outreach workers & community partners for all that you do 🙏

Getting more reports of downed wires & some power outages, especially in East Boston. If you see a downed wire &/or tree, do not touch anything! Call 311 & we will come out to take care of it.

Since midnight, Boston EMS has responded to about 120 emergency calls. They’re currently out on another 17, which is low for a typical Monday—so everyone is doing a good job staying in & staying safe. So far no major storm-related calls. Keep it up!

Meeting with outreach workers at the Pine Street Inn tonight as we prepare for a historic winter storm.

Alerts will be posted on the MBTA website, but they said to expect reduced service levels

A nor’easter is starting tonight and will continue through Monday. Boston is ready.

Managing Winter and Snow in Boston A .boston.gov website belongs to an official government organization in the City of Boston.

Our winter weather guide is up in 11 languages: from shoveling to parking, power outages to space savers, get all the info at boston.gov/snow ⬇️

Parking ban on major roads is in effect NOW. This lets us get ahead of the storm, removing remaining snow banks before the nor’easter arrives & making room for plows & salt spreaders to maneuver through the storm. Thanks for everyone’s help to keep us all safe 🙏

📢 BPS students: No school tomorrow, but please plan to help a neighbor shovel out after the snow stops falling

Be a good neighbor, shovel your sidewalk and curb ramps. Three images of well-cleared sidewalks and curb ramps with green check marks. Three images of a snow-covered sidewalk, a curb ramp covered in snow, and a fire hydrant blocked by a snow pile.

Help your neighbors get around safely as Boston experiences what is forecasted to be a historic blizzard.

Property owners must clear snow and ice from abutting sidewalks and curb ramps within 3 hours after snowfall ends or three hours after sunrise if the snow ends overnight.
