Cities and towns south of Boston bore the brunt of the Blizzard of 2026, with places like Brockton getting 31" of snow on Monday.

But clearing the roads has proven to be a challenge with drivers and pedestrians pleading with the city for better conditions, while Brockton officials say increased unnecessary travel has made it difficult for plows to do their job.

Traffic was near gridlock in parts of Brockton on Tuesday. Sidewalks were virtually nonexistent as pedestrians were forced to walk in the snow-covered roads. Police officers worked to shovel out cars that were stuck in the middle of the street and in some cases, they pushed vehicles out of intersections.
