Gov. Healey gives update NBC Boston [Video]

Gov. Maura Healey urged Massachusetts residents to avoid traveling Tuesday, if possible, when a nor’easter is expected to drop up to a foot of snow on parts of the state.

She held a news conference about what is expected to be her first major snowstorm as governor at the state’s Highway Operations Center in Boston.

“We ask that you avoid traveling tomorrow during the storm if possible. Plan ahead, use extreme care if you do need to head out,” Healey said.

Earlier Monday, Healey directed all staff who aren’t essential employees to work from home on Tuesday, given the unsafe driving conditions.

Near-blizzard conditions, 6-12 inches of snow, power outages and coastal flooding are among the potential impacts from Tuesday’s nor’easter.Follow NBC10 Boston on…Instagram: instagram.com/nbc10bostonTikTok: tiktok.com/@nbc10bostonFacebook: facebook.com/NBC10BostonX: twitter.com/NBC10Boston
