With the first winter storm of the season bearing down on the southern New England coast, the big question is whether the precipitation, expected to start Wednesday night, will be in the form of rain or snow, or even a mix.
As of late Monday afternoon, the forecast models did not agree on whether the system would be centered offshore or on the coast and where the storm tracks will determine how much snow the area receives.
While some forecasters are predicting up to a foot of snow, National Weather Service meteorologist Bill Simpson said it was too early to say how much snow the storm will bring.
HOPKINTON â Members of the Hopkinton Town Council agreed at Mondayâs meeting that they needed to better understand proposed amendments to the townâs zoning district use table and scheduled workshops to consider the proposed changes.
The amendments have been proposed by attorney Peter Skwirz, who represents Tom and Cynthia Sculco, owners of property that abuts the Palmer Circle site of a large proposed solar energy facility.
The draft amendments, which would significantly impact the townâs solar energy systems and farm viability (solar installations on farms) ordinances, are contained in a 19-page document. If approved, they would update the review procedures for solar projects and amend the permitted uses for solar energy systems.
