Foxborough Storm Center: Town Declares Winter Storm Emergency

FOXBOROUGH, MA — Here we go again, for the third time actually. Snow will begin late Monday night and persist for as long as 24 hours in parts of the state, making for an almost impossible Tuesday morning commute. Still, forecasters are hoping this storm brings less widespread power outages than the last two.

The latest bundle of snow means that the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning from 11 p.m. Monday night to 8 p.m. Tuesday. During this time, total snow accumulations of 10 to 15 inches, with localized amounts up to 18 inches, are expected, according to the NWS.

Towns from the coast to Interstate 95 are expected to be hit by the worst of this storm, meaning possible blizzard conditions.

Any cancellations and updates during the lead up to the storm will be posted here.

Winter Storm Emergency

Town officials have declared winter snow emergency from midnight Tuesday to midnight Wednesday. A notice on the town's website advises residents to park their vehicles off the roads and sidewalks.

No Trash Pickup

From Dooley Disposal Services: All trash and recycling collection will be delayed by one day. Collection will resume Wednesday, March 14.
