Brookline Set To Get More Snow

BROOKLINE, MA — Just when you thought we were getting a break, the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for most of Massachusetts, including Brookline, from 4 a.m. until 10 p.m. Tuesday.

Flakes are expected to begin falling around Tuesday late morning, and while the region is expecting to get between 2 and 6 inches of the white stuff, forecasters say Brookline will be on the lower end of that scale.

What to know

Snow emergency, parking ban: The town has not called an emergency. Parking overnight in town is not permitted most of the year anyway. If there were a parking ban, there is no on-street parking permitted. Instead, officials ask that you park in municipal and school parking lots — or risk getting towed.

School cancellations: None yet. We'll update if that changes. Generally, the school superintendent confers with the Public Works director about the road conditions and takes into consideration distances teachers have to come to get to school.

"Once the snow stops, there will remain a significant amount of work," the town said in a statement. "Snow banks are pushed back to the curb line in order to provide for safe passage, adequate storage space for future storms, and parking. Please consider this timetable when clearing your driveway, front walkway, and sidewalks so that you are not disappointed when a snow plow passes by after the snow has stopped falling."

• Emergencies should be reported by calling 911.
• If your power goes out, report it directly to Eversource here, or call 877-659-6326.
