What Grade Would You Give Norton for Plowing the Streets?
Norton residents, how well did the town handle the snowstorm?
Is your street clear? Are you still buried? Is your mailbox still standing? On Friday and Saturday, Norton experienced a snow storm it will not soon forget. Several residents took to Facebook and Twitter to talk about the plowing. Last night, we asked how Norton residents what grade they would give the Norton for plowing the streets. Here's what a few residents had to say: CJ McMahon 7 Tony Medeiros Jr. They did a good job on Main Street. Bay Road and Plain Street, ahh not so much. 5 Judy A. Barr C Doug McMahon The town never does a good job. John Scott is a good example of that. 123 and 140 I believe are the responsability of the state, so they don't count. Julie Perry 7.5 Pam Snyder Romaine Under the circumstances I say 9. Amy Gallant 8…

MAP: How Much Snow Has Fallen in Norton?
Thanks to the blizzard, Norton is expecting up to 36 inches of snow this weekend. See how many inches have fallen in your area with the LIVE map below.
The map above, provided by the National Weather Service, shows snowfall in the past 24 hours. It is updated every 6 hours. This is not a map showing overall snow depth: It only tracks the amount of snow that has fallen in the past day. The map is centered around the red marker, which is in the middle of Norton Patch's coverage area.
Morning Forecast Puts Snow Totals Closer to 3 Feet
A blizzard warning is in effect until 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9.
OK, so that two feet of snow we were preparing to get last night? Better add another foot to that. The National Weather Service on Friday morning adjusted its predicted snowfall totals to three feet. The timing of the snowfall is roughly the same: with light snow falling in Bristol county Friday morning, and becoming heavy later in the afternoon and into the Friday evening commute. So, as WHDH meteorologist Jeremy Reiner notes in his blog, you have a "few hours left this morning" to run some errands, but travel will deteriorate this afternoon. By 7 tonight, most towns will have 2 to 4 inches, Reiner predicted. The storm should be the worst from 7 p.m. Friday to noon tomorrow, when snow could fall at a rate of 2 to 3 inches per hour.

It is now sunday at 10:30 am. Our roads are not plowed and the roads that are are not in very good shape. I think a plow only went down Resevior one time. This is not acceptable. Everyone in Norton knows that property taxes went up about 300.00 to 700.00 per year, so where did the money go; sure not to the plowing department. I live near the water and my neighbor two doors down is wheel chair … more ›

I cant believe that Wilbur St. and the entire neighborhood, Renwick, Middlesex, James, Brenda are 6" deep wet slush....the list goes on! Wish I owned a plow, I'd fix it myself. Try walking your dog in that mess. My kids will have a very dangerous walk to the bus stop tomorrow. Thanks for nothing. more ›
