Radio Massachusetts is dealing with the fallout from the weekend snowstorm. Penny Commit with CBS News Boston has the details.
It has been a rough start of the week for US here in the Northeast this morning. Still thousands of people across Massachusetts are without power, and Boston specifically, we received nearly five and a half inches of snow. And what was different about this snow is that it was a heavy, wet snow, so heavy that in a nearby town right outside of Boston, a building collapse. Thankfully, it was under construction and vacant, so no one was hurt.
MIMA reporting more than twenty thousand people across the state are still without power today. It's about twenty eight eight degrees in Boston and it is very very windy out there. There is a high wind warning in effect, and the wind actually might be causing the cold to feel even colder out there, bursts up to fifty miles per hour, making that low of ten degrees feel like it's below zero at times. Tomorrow, we're gonna have the sun come back up along with that wind, causing it to once
again feel very chilly out there. The rest of the week, well, we're gonna have some sun and clouds in the sky. Then Thursday, potential for more snow in the forecast. We could be getting one to three inches, but we will keep following and seeing the forecast as it changes here on WBZ News Radio. Right now, it is four oh six.

And some stores are reigning in self checkout lanes. Some love it's quicker one quicker, while others loathe it. I think it sucks for stores.
It's supposed to be be a cost saver for customers, a time saver, but we may be at a crossroads. Some are now scaling back. Target recently told me we're rolling out express self checkout with limits at ten items Walmart, saying it will improve the in store experience and give our associates the chance to provide more.
Personalized and efficient service.
One of the big motivators for tweaking things is theft, as shoppers simply scan one item and then skip another. Experts say over time, new technology will make self checkout better and more secure, which means it's never going away completely.
