This is a historic amount of snow. Please have patience as the Department of Public Works continues to work through areas that require snow removal. Please make every effort to shovel out hydrants at or near your homes.

The schools as well as the Public library will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb. 10th.

Please check on your elderly neighbors.
