Message from Town Administrator
Gary Ezovski

Thank you to our DPW crews for their efforts during yesterday's storm.  And thanks to all who kept cars off the street to let them do what they do!  As I write this note at mid-day on Friday, we are still in a challenging weather condition which will cause icing and drifting of snow that will result in difficult travel conditions.  Please use caution.  If there are sections of road that drift over on the weekend, please contact NS Police at 762-1212 ext 415.  The officer on duty will notify DPW.
 
Stay warm.
