12:45 p.m.
Boston is dealing with a blizzard, and as conditions worsen, the number of power outages climbs.
The National Weather Service said early Tuesday afternoon that an automated observing station at Logan International Airport has recorded three hours of blizzard conditions.
Blizzard conditions had previously been reached in Hyannis, Falmouth, and Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The weather service defines a blizzard as three or more hours of sustained wind or frequent gusts to 35 mph or greater; and falling or blowing snow that reduces visibility frequently to less than one-quarter of a mile.
