Frigid temperatures over the weekend pressed construction crews across Massachusetts into action as they rushed to repair busted water and sewage lines after last week's “bomb cyclone” snowstorm.
On Jan. 4 a mega storm pummeled Boston and the region with heavy snowfall, and damaging winds that resulted in power outages and coastal flooding. Warming temperatures this week will help prevent further pipe breaks and accelerate the repair progress. But more flooding is expected as temperatures climbed to 33 degrees Monday afternoon and were expected to hit the 50s by Friday.
