Town of Amherst Declares State of Emergency

Just FYI, friends and relatives outside the area (including my brother in the mountains of Colorado who may be finding the hype just a little nutty) - it's just snow! True, lots of snow, but we expect to be completely fine (knock on wood and all). We're dry, warm, inside, and going nowhere.

Now forTown Manager John Musante's latest communication:

This is a message from Amherst Town Manager John Musante Friday, February 8 at 4:30 pm with a Winter Storm Nemo update.  I have declared a State of Emergency in the the Town of Amherst.  Additional Amherst public safety and public works personnel are working throughout this storm.  The latest forecast calls for a total snow accumulation of 18" - 24" thru mid-day Saturday with heaviest snow and winds from now until early morning.  Town officials urge you to shelter in place at home during the storm.  Governor Patrick has issued an executive order banning motor vehicle travel statewide except for emergency personnel beginning at 4 pm today. I have extended the Town of Amherst overnight parking ban from 8 pm tonight thru Saturday at Noon.  Get the latest information at www.amherstma.gov.  The Town will send additional messages as needed.
