The nor’easter that has covered most of Massachusetts in heavy snow may be making its way out of the region, but officials are still warning residents to be on guard against the fallen tree branches and power lines left behind.
“Significant heavy, wet snowfall causing damage to trees, wires, utility poles and power outages in communities across the state,” the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency said. “Avoid downed lines, give yourself extra time, and follow detours from local public safety officials.”
“With several communities experiencing power outages and downed trees, the administration is urging residents to stay off roadways and to use public transportation when possible,” Gov. Charlie Baker said.
