The company said the blizzard had made it too treacherous for workers to make it to the printing press on Monday.

Boston Globe readers will have to wait an extra day for their Tuesday newspaper.

The company said on Monday night that the blizzard that has blanketed much of New England with more than two feet of snow had made it too treacherous for print workers to make it to the printing press, which is about 35 miles south of Boston in Taunton, Mass.

The Globe, which usually prints seven days a week, will instead deliver the Tuesday edition to subscribers on Wednesday, along with Wednesday’s paper.
