New Haven’s sidewalks after the Blizzard of 1888

The New Haven Independent looks back at the Blizzard of 1888 which dumped 45 inches of snow on the city. Their article illustrates, with photos from the New Haven Museum, the fact that the sidewalks in Downtown New Haven were cleared first after that storm; highlighting the transportation priorities of then versus today.

As a light snow falls today, here’s the last look at photos sent in by our readers of last weekend’s blizzard.

Crazy!

Love this video of a snow train hard at work on the MBTA’s green line on Beacon Street in Brookline.

Also, check out this photo of a snow train on Commonwealth Avenue.

Contrary to what you see in this photo of Washington Street this evening, there is still a Parking Ban in effect in the City of Providence, until further notice.

Update: The Mayor’s office just announced that the parking ban ends at noon today (Monday).
