Westford Braces For More Snow

WESTFORD, MA — Tis the season: Another storm is on the way, and the National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for much of Southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts, including Westford.

Snow is expected to start falling Tuesday morning and much of the region is expected to get between 3 and 6 inches of snow, with Westford on the lower end of that, according to the National Weather Service.

This article will be updated with all the pertinent information in one place.

What to know

Snow emergency: The town has not yet called an emergency. We will update that if it changes.

Generally, the Public Works director calls a "snow emergency" when excessive amounts of snow are predicted. All cars are required to be removed from all roadways to allow for a better clearing job.

During 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.

The town prohibits parking on street between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. November through March.

Trash collection: The town asks that you watch where you place your trash and recycling barrels, so they don't get knocked over by plows.

Schools: Schools have not yet been canceled. We will update here if this 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.
