Snow In Andover: What You Need To Know

ANDOVER, MA -- While we didn't get nearly as much snow as originally predicted, early rain on Sunday and a drastic drop in temperature in the afternoon is going to lead to treacherous conditions. As a result, the list of cancellations is growing by the hour.

Cancellations:

• Andover's snow emergency will remain in effect until 9 am on Monday. The ban prohibits parking on all city streets. Violators will be ticketed and towed.
• The Andover/North Andover YMCA had a delayed opening until 9 am Sunday. All programs at Andover/North Andover, Lawrence and Methuen YMCAs are canceled. This includes YBL, group exercise classes and Child Watch.
