A powerful blizzard struck Boston and surrounding New England on Tuesday, bringing as much as three feet of snow and causing coastal flooding.

High tides breached a seawall in Marshfield, about 30 miles (50 km) south of Boston, damaging 11 homes.

Snow was forecast to keep falling into early Wednesday in eastern New England, possibly setting a record snowfall in Boston.

The heaviest snowfall was recorded outside Boston, with 36 inches (91.4 cm) in Lunenburg, Massachusetts, and 35 inches (88.9 cm) reported in Auburn, according to the National Weather Service.

But then by morning, weary shovelers were pretty tired of all the snow. You can only see the cars on this Beacon Hill street because their mirrors are showing. (The Atlantic Wire)

And despite the car ban, some people still need to get around. It just means they need to switch to alternative transportation methods like this. (The Atlantic Wire)

On the city’s south side, the scenes captured in these Associated Press photos are even scarier. There used to be cars on this street. You can barely see them now; there are only snow drifts.
