Snow In Tewksbury: What You Need To Know

TEWKSBURY, MA -- Weather forecasters say Massachusetts could get as much as one to two feet of snow this weekend. Here's what you need to know to before the storm hits Tewksbury. We'll update this story with cancellations as we hear of them, but, in the meantime, keep the following in mind:

The town does not typically declare snow emergencies, as it bans on-street parking between the hours of midnight and 6 am between November 1 and April 1 and at any time when snow or icy conditions are present to make sure it can clear snow from roadways. Vehicles that violate the winter parking ban will be ticketed and towed by the Police Department at the owner's expense.

Questions regarding parking restrictions should be referred to either the Town Clerk's Office at (978) 640-4355 or to the Police Department at (978) 640-4381, Monday thru Friday between the hours of 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM.

Tewksbury has 11 snow removal vehicles and begins plowing when snow reaches a depth of 2-3 inches. The entire plowing operation typically takes six hours, not counting pre-treatment of roads prior to a storm and post-storm work to remove ice and clear sidewalks.
