We’re closely coordinating with state and local public safety officials after recent U.S. military operations in Iran. There are no credible threats to Massachusetts, and keeping our communities safe is always our top priority. My thoughts and prayers are with our service members in harm’s way, and with the families who bear the weight of their sacrifice every day.

Last stop: Provincetown. Huge thanks to local law enforcement, the @MassStatePolice and @TheNationsFirst for being out there through the worst of this storm. While most of us were staying warm inside, they were answering every call and keeping people safe. We’re lucky to have them.

🚨TRAVEL BAN EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: Non-essential travel is banned in #Bristol, #Plymouth, and #Barnstable counties. Please stay off the roads for your safety and for the safety of all emergency personnel who are trying to do their jobs. #Bilzzard2026

Winter Weather Advisory: Effective immediately, a travel ban is in effect for #Bristol, #Plymouth, and #Barnstable counties. #MassDOT is redeploying snow removal equipment to the South Coast. Drivers statewide should expect reduced level of service on state highways.

With a significant winter storm arriving tonight, be prepared for possible power outages. • Keep electronic devices, including cell phones and essential medical devices, fully charged. • Use generators and grills outside because their fumes contain carbon monoxide. • Call 9-1-1 to report emergencies, including downed power lines, or if you are dependent on equipment that requires electricity and need medical assistance.

📞 Report Your Outage If your power is out, report it directly to your utility provider using the phone numbers below. Reporting helps crews identify affected areas and restore service faster. If you see downed power lines, stay far away and call 9-1-1

🚨 Current Blizzard Conditions: Avoid travel if you can. Heavy snow, strong winds, and whiteout conditions are creating extremely difficult roads across #MA. Stay home, stay safe, and give our crews time to clear the roads. ❄️🚧
