BOSTON (AP) — The National Weather Service, relying on trained spotters, says Tuesday’s storm brought more than 2 feet of snow to some communities.

High winds and blowing snow led meteorologists to categorize the storm as a blizzard in parts of New England, including Boston. Gusts approached 70 mph on Cape Cod, the weather service said.
