Grab your shovels and space savers, Boston. It’s been a while since we’ve had to dust off the snow plows and snow gear, but don’t get a brain freeze — review these weather reminders ahead of the anticipated snowfall this weekend.
According to forecasters (like Dave Epstein ), Boston could see anywhere from one to six-plus inches of snow. The storm is expected to roll in Saturday afternoon and continue into Sunday.
The Public Works Department has 44,000 tons of salt to treat city streets + 175 pieces of in-house snow clearing equipment, with an additional 800 ready to call in during larger storms.
