City Prepared for SnowStaff reports - December 02, 2007
NORTH ADAMS - With the first big snowfall of the season expected to hit this evening, Mayor John Barrett III said the city is prepared for a blizzard - but he doubts the snow will be a real problem.
"This is nothing; we're ready to go. We got some snow on Friday, so we've already got one [storm] under our belts. We're pretty well prepared," the mayor said on Sunday afternoon.
Scattered snowfall throughout the county on Sunday left roads icy and slippery and more is expected to fall into Monday afternoon. The storm, which walloped the Midwest on Saturday, will drop 6 to 10 inches of snow on the Northeast over the next two days. A mixture of snow and sleet is predicted and winds are expected to be 15 to 25 miles per hour on Monday morning.
Barrett said the city's public works department is completely prepared to handle any storm, no matter the severity.
"It's just like any athletic team. If you don't have any injuries, you'll be fine. As long as we don't have any breakdowns, it'll be fine," he said.
Barrett said he did not know whether there would be school cancellations.
"We don't know how much is going to turn into sleet and it's not expected to pick up until the night. We just have to wait and see," he said.
