Boston Snow Covers City and Busy Holidays Decline
Snow draped Boston overnight as a six to eight degree frost set in a winter mood. The city’s transit labors on as horse cars strained through snow, while gales and bristling cold affect suburbs. Legislation, church unifications, and notable firings and appointments keep civic life active amid the weather.
