What to know Snow emergency: The town has not yet called an emergency. We will update that if it changes. Generally, the Public Works director calls a "snow emergency" when excessive amounts of snow are predicted. All cars are required to be removed from all roadways to allow for a better clearing job. During a parking ban, there is no on-street parking permitted. Instead, officials ask that you park in municipal and school parking lots — or risk getting towed. Trash collection: The town asks that you watch where you place your trash and recycling barrels, so they don't get knocked over by plows. Schools: Schools have not yet been canceled. We will update here if this changes. Generally, the school superintendent confers with the Public Works director about the road conditions and takes into consideration distances teachers have to come to get to school. Other key info: Emergencies should be reported by calling 911.Questions or concerns about snow removal rules? call 978-856-6707 or email [email protected]: To Report Service Related Issues: 1-800-VERIZON (1-800-837-4966) at www.verizon.com/outage What's the Weather Service Say?
