Good evening. This is Mayor Shari Cantor.

In preparation for the expected snow storm, please keep our roadways clear of all vehicles to help us with snow removal. This will also allow our public safety personnel to respond quickly to calls.

The Town has issued a parking ban effective at 10 p.m. tonight [Monday].

Town lots have been made available for your convenience.

If you don’t need to go out, please stay home and observe the Governor’s travel ban.

This storm is also predicting high winds, so there may be power outages. If you lose power, please call Eversource at 800-286-2000.

Make sure to stay away from downed power lines, they may be energized. If you find a downed line, call the Police Department by dialing 911.
