Email from DPW Director Brutus Cantoreggi from earlier in the day (Monday, 1/19/26):
Just want to give you all an update on the snow and ice removal operations in case you get some calls.
Yesterday around 2PM, Waste Management called to inform us that trash and recycling would not be collected on Monday (today) as planned due to predicted weather. So curbside pick-up would be delayed one day. This is allowed in our contract with them. We immediately posted on websites and social media.
DPW personnel reported to work yesterday at 4 PM to work the storm based on weather reports that we received. We had pre- treated the Town the day before.
It was anticipated that we would get around three inches as reported by our weather folks and local media stations.
All DPW workers showed up on time.
Pretty much started snowing around 1PM with little accumulation.
Extremely cold, temp was 14 degrees.

At 10PM we called in contractors as we had 3 inches of snow on the ground.
The contractors provided all equipment, much better than the last 2 events.
Vehicles parked on the road during the overnight parking ban continue to be a problem.
We worked with the Police and 35 to 40 tickets were issued.
As of right now, it is still snowing and over 6 inches of snow has fallen. The Town is looking pretty good, folks can travel throughout town on this holiday.
We will commence plowing sidewalks once the snow stops.
