Colossal Winter Storm Hits New England as Patriots Deliver a Big Win

A powerful winter storm continues to impact New England, dumping heavy snow, creating dangerous road conditions, and disrupting daily life across the region. Officials are urging residents to use caution as cleanup and recovery efforts continue following one of the most significant winter weather events of the season.

While crews work around the clock to clear roads and restore services, there was a bright spot for football fans: the New England Patriots secured a hard-fought win in snowy conditions, giving residents something to cheer about amid the storm.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB.org) is reminding consumers to take extra precautions when hiring storm-related services such as snow removal, roofing, and property repairs.

BBB Tips for Consumers After a Storm:

Verify contractors and snow removal services before hiring

Be cautious of door-to-door offers or pressure to act immediately

Get estimates and contracts in writing

Look for BBB Accredited Businesses and report suspected scams

Storms often bring an increase in scam activity, and BBB encourages residents to stay informed, stay safe, and support trusted local businesses during recovery efforts.
