The Department of Public Works has worked tirelessly to make travels in Winchester manageable and residents are looking to gift these workers with a little pick-me-up for their efforts.
Winchester picked up another 15.2 inches of snow on Valentine’s Day weekend on top of the six feet of snow that was already on the ground from the three previous major snowstorms.

“Historic snowfall means extraordinary snow removal challenges and these men and women (on the roads, in the plows, in the heavy machines and in the DPW office) continue to rally to the cause,” the GoFundMe page states. “They are working in the daylight hours and all through the night - plowing and widening as late as 3:30 a.m. and beyond.”
The fundraiser looks to buy Dunkin’ Donuts gifts card for the DPW workers to reward them for their hard work.
