Honestly, the predicted weather doesn’t look particularly wintry over that time period, more like 40s and 50s. There will be rain some days though, so just consider that if you’re planning on walking around a lot (which is the best way to see Boston). Nothing really closes down in the winter here other than some outdoor events and outdoor dining at restaurants. It will just be chillier than if you come at another time of year, but you could have 40s and 50s here in April, so for January that really isn’t bad.

If you’re referring to the snowstorm that already happened, it was just rain here so there’s no snow on the ground. I see more rain in the forecast and if the predicted temperatures stay that high it won’t be snow, but it’s always possible things could change.
