The parade for the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots will be held in Boston Wednesday even though the city is still digging out from a record setting snowfall and the subway system is having weather-related breakdowns.
Boston Mayor Martin Walsh said the parade can’t be postponed until Saturday as many have suggested, because the players will soon be leaving the region for their off-season homes.
" If I felt it ( the parade) was going to be a public safety issue I would cancel it," Walsh said Tuesday. " But right now I think we'll be fine."
Walsh did warn fans not to stand on snow banks along the parade route because it is dangerous. Boston received a record 40.5 inches of snow over a span of seven days.
Windchills are forecast to be in the teens when the parade begins at 11 a.m.
