Swampscott Winter Storm: Schools Go Remote, Parking Ban At Noon

SWAMPSCOTT, MA — Swampscott Public Schools switched to a remote learning model on Tuesday with up to 3 to 6 more inches forecast for the North Shore.

The district made the call early Monday night.

The town also declared a snow emergency parking ban to begin at noon on Tuesday and last until midnight.

"Please remove all vehicles from public streets to permit proper snow clearing," the town said. "And, as always, remember to clear snow from sidewalks adjacent to your property."

Snowfall was expected to begin between 8 a.m.-10 a.m. in central Massachusetts and 10 a.m.-noon in eastern Massachusetts. It's expected to continue for about 12 hours, with the heaviest of it coming between 2 p.m.-7 p.m.

North and west of Boston are under a winter storm warning and expected to get the worst of it. Places like Worcester, Amherst, Lawrence and Newburyport are looking at 6-8 inches.
