If you live in Massachusetts and you were thinking of going out today, well, if the massive snow storm heading this way doesn't stop you, then Governor Deval Patrick's order banning all road travel effective 4pm today (Friday, February 8, 2013) will.
The statewide travel ban is believed to be the first of its kind since the great Northeast blizzard of 1978.
The Governor made the announcement today after he declared a state of emergency for Massachusetts due to a massive and possibly historic blizzard that could drop as much as 3 feet (about 1 meter) of snow to parts of Boston, Massachusetts and New England in general, according to the National Weather Service.
"This is a profoundly different kind of storm than we have dealt with," Patrick said. "The demands of recovery we cannot know until the storm is over."

The snow has stopped . Hope the Governor has woken up and about to revoke the travel ban. My baby needs urgent help. I hope Governor has something to do that makes him revoke the ban. helpless mass resident
if you drive out there right now you will crash. he is trying to keep thant from happening. if you are at work then bunker down get off the forum and take care of the sick people there are extra beds. my mom is a nurse. my sister is a ma so i know it sux but its either stay off the road or get caught in the storm.
