Brookline Snow: What To Know About Tuesday March 13

BROOKLINE, MA — The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for much of the state, including Brookline. Tonight several inches of snow are expected to cover the city and then by the end of the day Brookline could see more than a foot. That's right, folks.

So here we go with round three of Nor'Easter related snow-related news. Will there be school? Will there be a parking ban? and what about recycling? Here's what to know:

Will there be school?
Schools are closed!

"Due to the heavy snow and blizzard conditions forecast for tomorrow, all public schools in Brookline will be closed on Tuesday, March 13, 2018. All afternoon and evening activities are also cancelled for Tuesday.The storm is predicted to last through most of the day tomorrow," the district announced Monday afternoon.

Other closures?

Parking clerk is closed, the library will be closed, and town hall will be closed.

Has the city declared a snow emergency or parking ban?
Yes

Generally, the Public Works Director will call a "snow emergency" when excessive amounts of snow are predicted. All vehicles are required to be removed from all roadways to allow for a better clearing job. All vehicles left on the road are subject to tow.

Commissioner Andrew Pappastergion of the Brookline Department of Public Works announced that the Town of Brookline has declared a Snow Emergency beginning Tuesday March 13 at 6 a.m. and it will remain in effect until Wednesday March 14 at 7 a.m.

Parking will be prohibited on all public ways while the emergency is in effect.

Due to the large amount of predicted snowfall, please be aware that DPW plows will be pushing back snow banks as much as possible to allow for safe passage of emergency vehicles.

What about trash and recycling?

There will be no trash and recycling collection on Tuesday. Trash routes for Tuesday through Friday will be delayed by one day, the town.

How's public transportation looking?

The MBTA Commuter Rail will operate on an "Extremely Reduced Schedule" on all lines. Red, Orange, Blue, and Green Lines will operate with reduced frequency, similar to a Saturday.
