Hello, Monday! Chelsea, here.
❄️ How are you holding up after all this snow? The storm may be done, but road closures, service changes, and dangerously cold temperatures are still going to impact you this morning. Wind chills are expected to dip well below zero, making this a week to stay cautious, check on neighbors, and keep time outside to a minimum. We’ve rounded up the latest closures, transit updates, and safety info in one place. Stay warm out there, friends! And if you build any cool snow forts, snow men, or really anything cool out of snow, hit reply and send us a photo! We’d love to see what you build with all this fresh powder!
