National Grid Faces Pressure as Massive Nor'easter Dumps Two Feet in Parts of Massachusetts
The massive nor'easter that battered the Boston area Monday has left thousands without power across the Northeast and forced communities in Massachusetts to brace for more than two feet of snow. The timing matters because the storm, ongoing as of midday, produced fast and furious snowfall that has already prompted the collection of regional snow reports and emergency notices.
Massachusetts snow totals and Feb. 23 blizzard

The event is identified in coverage as the Feb. 23 blizzard and has been described in live updates as a massive nor'easter battering the Boston area.
National Grid and power outages across the Northeast
The snowstorm has left thousands without power across the Northeast, a direct effect of the nor'easter's heavy precipitation and sustained impact on infrastructure. What makes this notable is that pockets of exceptionally heavy accumulation—exceeding two feet in parts of Massachusetts—compress repair windows and increase demand on crews and equipment, including those managed by national grid utilities operating in the region.
