Heavy snow and extreme winds continue to impact North Attleborough, creating hazardous travel conditions. Residents are strongly urged to avoid driving, especially during the brunt of the storm between now and 11:00 AM, when conditions are expected to be most dangerous.
Parking Ban Remains in Effect
A parking ban is in effect until further notice. During this time, parking on public roads is prohibited. Violators may be ticketed and/or towed. Vehicles may be temporarily parked at the Church Street, Community School, and Woodcock parking lots, but must be removed immediately once the ban is lifted.
An additional alert will be issued when the parking ban is lifted.
Snow Removal Operations
DPW crews are actively working to clear main roads and sidewalks. However, snow continues to fall steadily, and cleared areas may quickly become snow-covered again. Residents are asked to stay off the roads to assist snow removal operations.
Please also be mindful of active plows. As crews push snow off the streets, snow may be deposited at the end of driveways. If you plan to shovel, be aware that additional snow could be moved into your driveway as plowing continues.
Power Outages
The North Attleborough Electric Department (NAED) is actively monitoring the storm and any power outages. To report an outage, call 508-643-6300.
NAED has also launched its beta outage map to help residents track outages in town. Please note that the map is not yet finalized and is still a work in progress; however, it has been released early to assist the community. Access the map here: https://naelectric.datacapable.com/
