Parts of the northeast recovering from a disaster kind of a different kind of disaster today I should say.

But even after travel was banned across the entire states in Connecticut Massachusetts.

That record setting snow fall.

Is presenting a cleanup challenge the likes of which one state is not seen -- more than a hundred years.

This is a record snowfall on the likes of which -- state has.

And I've never seen or had not seen since the 1880s.

And unfortunately we live in a much more urban environment -- maybe it's fortunate but but it's a very urban and compact environment and moving a lot of this -- Piles are going to require.

I heavier equipment some of that equipment is on its -- Molly Line is there already live in Plymouth Massachusetts what -- travel concerns.

Are people facing their -- And edit.

Yeah it is tough out here that the rain just start of the freezing rain.

And that's a big concern they Barney got snow on a lot of these were at -- certainly the secondary roads.

Now with the rain coming down the -- about it freezing up later on this afternoon creating real trouble for the afternoon commute right now the highways are already narrowed because.

The breakdown lanes are absolutely filled with snow -- so this is going to be a major major concern as the day goes on also.

It's making this -- turning to snow making everything a lot heavier so there's been.

Some concerns about roof collapses were keeping an eye on that and we have already heard at least one pedestrian was hit by a tractor trailer out.

West of the city well west of Boston.

So you know a lot of these sidewalks are still covered in snow so there there will be pedestrians out and a lot of big high snow -- so that's.

One of the other concerns visibility -- they could certainly -- they can stay warm to how many people without power moment.

Hope that those numbers are dropping rapidly there were about 400000 initially during the height of the storm that struck around a 100000 most of the -- here and limit you can see.

This -- the main street here are still in the dark Hitler did you know you can see the guys.

With their snow -- try to get to the bottom of all the ice that cause a lot of problems you can see it wires here iced over and a lot of places that's sort of challenges the utility crews are facing just.

Getting to the things they need to get to some of it's -- so maybe.

Possibly till Thursday wherever -- gets their power back there's.

Mind.
