Blizzard 2015 hits MA hard

The Blizzard of 2015 unleashed its fury on Boston and the rest of New England on Tuesday, dumping more than 2 feet of snow and counting.

A 40-to-50-foot section of a seawall in Marshfield, Massachusetts, was knocked out by the storm.

In Newport, Rhode Island, the blizzard toppled a 110-foot replica of a Revolutionary War sailing vessel in dry dock, breaking its mast and puncturing its hull.

It will remain cold in Bean Town for a while. Wednesday’s low is expected to be 1 degree in Boston, and forecasters said it will not get above freezing for the next week or so.

Nearly 21 inches of snow coated Boston's Logan Airport by Tuesday evening, while nearby Framingham had 2 1/2 feet and Worcester 26 inches, according to unofficial totals. Lunenburg, Massachusetts, reported 33 inches.

At least 30,000 homes and businesses were without power in the Boston-Cape Cod area, including the entire island of Nantucket.

New York's Long Island was also hit hard by the storm, but the New York City area fell short of predictions with less than a foot of snow. Travel bans in New York were lifted by Tuesday morning.
