Blizzard stops Boston Globe from printing paper for the first time ever

Boston Globe subscribers wandering out into the cold to look for the morning paper won't find it, thanks to a blizzard.

For the first time in 153 years, the Boston Globe will not print the paper on Tuesday, Feb. 24, after the blizzard on Monday, Feb. 23, "made it impossible to print and deliver a paper Tuesday morning," the newspaper stated in an article.

The nor'easter storm slammed the New England area, where the paper is printed, with over 2 feet of snow, and winds prevented staff from traveling to the paper's printing press in Taunton, Massachusetts, around 37 miles south of Boston.

Here's what to know about the historic pause in printing.

Will the Boston Globe still print Tuesday's newspaper?

Yes, subscribers will still receive Tuesday's paper. However, it will be delivered on Wednesday, Feb. 25, instead, along with Wednesday's papers, according to the Globe.
