In hosting his first press conference in a snow-related situation, Mayor Marty Walsh took a proactive approach to the forthcoming winter weather enacting a snow emergency and parking ban, as well as canceling Boston Public Schools for Wednesday due to the imminent Winter Storm Janus.

After conferring with his snow team to discuss the latest storm-related information and response plans, Mayor Walsh conveyed that the MBTA would be up and running, authorities will be towing vehicles parked in snow emergency spaces and that some 85 percent of the salt stores are available for usage during the flurries. There will also be 500 pieces of snow removal equipment on the roads.

“Twelve days into my administration I did not want to have a press conference on a snowstorm,” joked Mayor Walsh to kick things off.

The Mayor also mentioned briefly that parking space savers – a timeless Boston tradition to the chagrin of some and appreciation of others – will be enforced on a storm-by-storm basis. Though the city won’t be sending crews around Wednesday to ask people to take their chairs, wagons, cardboard boxes, trash cans, traffic cones and other random paraphernalia out of the street, he has mentioned previously that a two day limit will be in effect during most stormy conditions.

Perhaps most pressing, though, was the question of whether or not Mayor Walsh would honor his bet with Denver’s Mayor Hancock and don a Denver Broncos football jersey after the mile-high team outplayed the hometown New England Patriots on Sunday by 10 points.

In canceling his trip to Washington D.C. US Conference of Mayors, Walsh made it clear that he would absolutely not be wearing an orange and navy jersey tomorrow, something he may have had to do amongst his constituents in D.C.
