Community Update

During the next 48 hours we are expecting severe weather with heavy snow and bitter cold.  The following are the actions we are taking to prepare:

 1)     Highway staff is on duty and will remain so until the snow storm has passed. They have pretreated most of the roads and all are passable.  They will start to plow when conditions warrant it and will bring the contractors in when the heavy snow begins to fall.

2)   Calendar House and the Library will be open and serve as “warming shelters” during normal duty hours tomorrow.  We don’t expect power outages so there are no plans to provide food or off hours shelter.

3)   Janet (Mellon) is coordinating with a local hotel to make sure we have a few rooms available if needed for homeless needing shelter. The Police and Fire departments have been alerted to be on the lookout for those needing assistance.

4)   Schools released early today and are planning to discuss how to respond tonight but will probably make the call in the morning.

5)    If the roads are really bad for the morning commute I will delay opening Town offices until 10:00 am

 I will keep you posted as information is updated.
