Though we’re looking at 8 to 14 inches of snow on Monday and Tuesday, your commute may not change from the norm. Gov. Charlie Baker stated that despite to the ongoing winter storm, the MBTA is expected to operate its normal schedule.

Further, state government offices will be open for business after discussions with MassDOT, MEMA, State Police and the MBTA.

“We encourage everyone to take public transportation if possible, to drive carefully and anticipate a very difficult commute,” said Gov. Baker. “Commuters should be aware there is a parking ban in Boston starting at 6 AM and that several other cities are considering similar bans. Keep in mind this coming storm will have different impacts across the state and communities south of the Mass Pike could experience dangerously icy roads during the afternoon commute.”

In response to the first blizzard he faced as governor, Baker instituted a statewide travel ban and state of emergency. There were no fatalities recorded as a result of the storm but there were a handful of treatable injuries. The governor also estimated Juno left as much as $30 million worth of damages in its wake.

At the time this article was published, there were no MBTA delays resulting from weather conditions. Several bus lines, though, are running on their snow routes and experiencing delays of their own. At least four commuter rail trains have been canceled and another three are delayed.

“As of now, the MBTA is planning to run a regular schedule for the entire transit system, but we will continue to monitor the storm and provide further updates if forecasts change,” said Gov. Baker.

He added, aptly. “In closing, Go Pats!”
