Right now @BostonPWD crews are working around the clock on the Blizzard cleanup, but the roads are still challenging. Snowbanks are extremely high right now, making it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians — and for pedestrians to see cars.

When you head outside, please take it slow. Shoveling feels routine, but with this much heavy, wet snow, it’s one of the most physically demanding things many of us do all year — and it puts real strain on the heart.
