Hopefully road conditions will be better next snowfall, plowing and sanding should of been done before 7am when kids were standing at bus stops or on busses and residents were going to work. There was a 3 car collision on South and Bridge St, and another of Shawsheen. And there was a layer of ice under the snow.

Wasn't that bad. My two wheel drive vehicle made it just fine this morning. Kinda nice to see some snow actually. We've still yet to get some REAL snow this year. There are always accidents on South and Bridge streets despite the conditions. Enjoy it people, Life is good!

I went to work at 5:30 and I was sliding all over the place. My husband drove my son to school and slid in the parking lot. There was no sign of a sander or plow. What time did they finally come out? If you can't get the sanders out before the school buses school should be delayed.

Plow came down my street for the first time just after 11 this morning. My husband called from the road and was having trouble on a road in Andover (around 8am) and had to engage his 4WD - I never would have made it in my sedan :/
