Melrose Has A Snow Day

MELROSE, MA — Tuesday is a Snow Day for pretty much all of Melrose. Schools, City Hall, the Library, and the Milano Center will all be closed the mayor announced Monday in advance of a massive storm.

The DPW have about 80 pieces of equipment ready to serve Melrose during a storm in which we may get 12-20 inches. You can contact the DPW Operations Center after 6 a.m. at 781-665-0142 with any storm-related issues or questions.

Here is a list of Melrose students you can hire to shovel for you.

Here's what else the mayor said:

• There will be an on-street parking ban starting at 11 p.m. on Monday and continuing throughout the day on Tuesday. Residents with overnight stickers or who need overnight parking are encouraged to use the City Hall lot or the three commuter rail stations: Melrose Highlands, Cedar Park, and Wyoming. During the storm, police will not be ticketing in these four lots.
• The Melrose Public Schools, City Hall, the Melrose Public Library, and the Milano Center will be closed.
