The court posted a notice on its website that said the decision was "in the interest of safety for the public and staff, given the predicted impact of the storm."

All first day jurors are also canceled statewide, the notice continued.

Parts of Western Massachusetts could get as much as two feet of snow once the nor'easter finishes its assault on the region. As of Tuesday morning, thousands were without power, and many roads across the state were impassable.
