The “Blizzard of ’96” rolled into the North Quabbin region with snow, sub-freezing temperatures and high winds. Schools are closed throughout the nine town region and across the state, with many businesses announcing shift closings or delayed openings. Town roads are passable in Athol and Orange, but highway superintendents said roadways are getting narrower with each storm. The major problem now is finding a place to put it all. Depths of up to 18 inches were reported in area towns.
