Feb 1-2, 2021 Winter Storm Notifications and Updates

PARKING BAN

A snow emergency parking ban will be in effect beginning today at 2 PM,  Monday, February 1, and will remain in effect until further notice due to an upcoming winter storm expected to bring heavy wet snow, gusty winds and minor coastal flooding later today through tomorrow.  

Parking is available at all municipal and school parking lots but it is at your own risk. Due to the possibility of minor coastal flooding parking will not be available in the lower lot at Gloucester High School.  

The City of Gloucester will give residents ample notice when the parking ban is rescinded to allow for the removal of cars from off street parking areas before parking enforcement teams will begin ticketing and towing.

All residents and businesses are reminded that they are responsible for clearing snow from sidewalks adjacent to their property. Please make every effort to shovel out hydrants at, or, near your homes, and please check on your elderly and disabled.  Your cooperation during this parking ban is necessary for efficient and safe snow removal efforts.

TRASH AND RECYCLING COLLECTION 

Trash will not be collected tomorrow, Tuesday, February 2. Trash collection will resume on Wednesday, February 3 and operate on a holiday schedule/one-day delay the rest of the week.

If you are in danger, call 911 for immediate assistance. Emergency teams are prepared to assist anyone in need so call 911 right away.  We remind all to take caution while traveling and to make safety your top priority.  Thank you for your assistance and please use 911 for any emergency needs.

A variety of views of our beloved Paint Manufactory taken over the years. Some older (probably 2004), some newer, some at sunset, some from across the harbor………always stunning. I just love this gem.

Hi Joey, I was driving by Buswell Pond Saturday and caught an impromptu hockey game.

From Deadline:

In the first big deal of the 2021 virtual Sundance Film Festival, Apple has landed worldwide rights to CODA, for a number just north of $25 million. That sets a new a Sundance acquisitions record — above the $22.5 million that Palm Springs received last year from Hulu/Neon. But this time, all the premiere watching and all night auctioning was done far from the slopes of Park City. It came down to a pitched battle between Apple and Amazon.
