Some Roads May Still be Slippery or Snow Covered
With below-freezing overnight temperatures and snow leftover from Winter Storm Gail, some roads remained slippery or snow covered last night after the Department of Public Works trucks stopped running for the evening. This photo comes from Franklin Street, in the Saugatuck neighborhood, just after midnight this morning and shows several inches of snow still blocking the intersection at Ketchum Street. Town plows will have begun work before dawn today, continuing to clear roadways and salt any areas of black ice before the morning commute.
