BEVERLY, MA — The snow emergency parking ban in Beverly was set to be canceled at 8 p.m. Friday night.

The parking ban began at midnight Thursday night with up to 12 inches of snow expected along the North Shore.

While the storm did provide the damage or disruption of other winter storms because of a lack of wind, beach erosion and its February school vacation timing, the National Weather Service reported 10 inches of snow on the ground in northwest Peabody and 9 inches in Salem.
