“Clearing the sidewalks continue to be challenging and timely due to a large amount of snow,” said Jewell, who added this “storm is one of the largest we have dealt with in the last few years.”

DPW “will continue to monitor the roads. Especially tonight, for potential black ice,” said the DPW spokesperson.

Due to the storm, there was no curbside trash collection today.

“Trash and recycling will be collected on Friday. Collection will be delayed by one day for the rest of the week. Meaning, we will collect Thursday’s trash on Friday and Friday’s trash on Saturday,” explained Jewell.
