DPW Preparing for Weekend Snow

Weather service says Westborough could get about eight inches.

 

Westborough public works crews are handling tasks today that would make people thing another major snowstorm is coming.

Could be -- this weekend.

Two weeks after the Blizzard of '13, the National Weather Service in Taunton is forecasting rain and snow possible for Westborough for Saturday, with snow likely on Sunday.

"We're anticipating a pretty good storm," Assistant Public Works Manager Rich Voutas said.

"We have to anticipate it that way."

The weather service has Westborough getting about eight inches of snow between Saturday night and Sunday night, with the heaviest snow falling early Sunday.

Westborough public works officials are replenishing their salt and sand supplies, repairing and checking their equipment, and clearing snow from "very bad areas that are not going to allow us to put any snow," Voutas said.

"If we weren't anticipating a storm, we'd let the stuff melt," he said.
