In Peabody, traffic was at a standstill after State Police blocked off roads.
In Brockton, a driver was stranded, stuck in a blanket of snow.
A tow truck driver had to come to the rescue, helping to dig it out before towing the car.
“This has been by far the busiest,” said a tow truck driver. “Last winter wasn’t like this at all. As far as the type of calls, push-outs, tows, all normal stuff, people sliding off the roads because they can’t see.”
Several cars were stuck in the snow and visibility was also a problem for drivers.
At Bridgewater service plaza, Jeff Boyd spent 30 minutes trying to get his big rig out of the snow.
“I just pulled in to take a break and now I’m stuck,” said Boyd. “I’ve only driven about 12 miles now since one o’clock.”
And tow truck drivers say it is a good idea to just stay inside when a major storm hits.
