Governor Mara Healey is urging people to stay indoors and hunker down if possible.

Healey is also asking residents to look in on their neighbors.

The state has ordered trucks off the highways unless they're carrying food, fuel, and medical supplies.

Non-essential state employees have been ordered to work from home Monday.

The private sector is being urged to do the same.

For NPR News, I'm Josie Guarino in Boston.

This is the biggest storm we've seen in years.

So my message to the public is, look, we're going to have massive amounts of snow.

Visibility is going to be terrible.

I just ask that we look out for each other, you know, particularly if you've got folks who are elderly nearby or maybe in need of a little assistance.
