Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 25th of January.
Good morning, Framingham.
🚧 Accidents
Today, an arctic blast is expected to bring snow and ice to local roads, creating hazardous driving conditions.
Drivers are advised to triple their stopping distance + steer in the direction of a skid to avoid collisions as recommended by AAA.
🏛️ Government
Massachusetts law lets local governments set sidewalk shoveling rules; in Framingham, residents are not required to clear the sidewalk in front of their homes (clearing adjacent sidewalks when safe is advised).
A recent snow forecast encourages reviewing local rules to avoid fines.
MassDOT will pre-treat and clear state roads today as the region braces for the season’s heaviest snowstorm, expected to drop at least 8 inches.
Municipalities will handle local streets and parking lots while private roads remain the owners’ responsibility.
🏥 Health
Cold weather and snow are forecast to arrive this weekend, so pet owners are advised to limit outdoor walks for dogs with short coats and check for signs of stress - shivering or holding up a paw - while using pet-safe measures like wiping down paws after exposure.
