Streets are empty of traffic because of a travel ban due to heavy snow in Boston, MA, and public transportation has been shut down. New York City officials specifically called out food delivery bicycles as “non-essential” in their travel ban announcement, but I don’t know if Boston’s travel ban includes bikes or not.
Eastern Massachusetts was hit hard, but the storm left only moderate snow in New York City contrary to forecaster expectations there.
