As a major snowstorm bears down on the region just a few days before winter officially kicks in Monday, residents are being urged to stay off the roads and let plow drivers do their jobs.
Attleboro Mayor Paul Heroux said that while snow is coming down, the streets are not going to be safe to drive.
Beginning Wednesday night through Thursday, between 10 and 15 inches of snow is expected to fall in the Attleboro area. Because the track of the storm is still being projected, more precise amounts are being assessed.
âPeople need to stay home as much as possible. As the snow is coming down, the snow removal operation is keeping the roads clear enough to allow first responders to get to an emergency,â Heroux said in an email to The Sun Chronicle.
