The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning for North Attleborough in effect from 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 22, through Tuesday, Feb. 24. During this time, blizzard conditions are expected, with total snow accumulations between 1 and 2 feet. Wind gusts are forecasted to be as high as 60 mph.
Visibilities may drop below 1/4 mile due to falling and blowing snow. The strong winds and weight of snow on tree limbs may bring down power lines and cause power outages. Whiteout conditions are expected, making travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening. Travel could be very difficult or impossible. The hazardous conditions will impact the Monday morning and evening commutes. Strong winds could cause tree damage.
Travel should be restricted to emergencies only. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle.
To report power outages, call the North Attleborough Electric Department at 508-643-6300. The Department of Public Works requests that residents stay off the streets until the roads are cleared. When shoveling snow, take frequent breaks to prevent overexertion and injury. Dig out fire hydrants and storm drains near your property.
