Updated Saturday at 1:05 p.m.

The snow has fallen and crews are out in force to clear the roads.

According to NSTAR's power outage map, there are no major power outages in town.

The travel ban decreed yesterday by Gov. Deval Patrick is still in effect until "further notice." The rationale is that the ban will make it easier for plows to clear the roads.

There is no mail delivery today.
