Town Asks For Help As Rain Approaches

From the National Weather Service and the Town of Winchester:

“We have a multi-faceted event coming up for Friday and through the weekend, including the potential for heavy rainfall and mild temperatures that could cause flooding, as well as freezing rain/sleet and black ice toward the end of this event.

Milder temperatures will move into the region on increasing southwest winds Thursday and Friday, potentially reaching the 50s to near 60 on Friday. Heavy rainfall, with forecast amounts of 2 to as much as 4 inches, along with snow quickly melting and snow clogged storm drains, may cause flooding.

The Town asks that all resident assist in preventing flooding by locating and removing snow from storm drains along the street near your home. Your assistance will prevent property damage. The DPW is working to remove snow from as many areas as possible, but there is insufficient time and staff to reach all 2000 storm drains. Your attention to this task is greatly appreciated.
