Letter to the Editor

LETTER: Thank You Foxborough DPW for All The Hard Work

Two Chestnut Street residents write in to extend their thanks and appreciation to everyone at Foxborough’s DPW for the hard work and tireless efforts of the town’s workers.

To the Foxborough DPW workers, We moved to Chestnut Street this past November and just experienced our first major snowstorm in Foxborough we would like to extend our sincerest thanks to each and every one of you for your efforts during – and after – the Blizzard of 2013. While we were waiting out the 29 inches of snow from the warmth of our home, you were all out there keeping up with the blizzard in cold and dangerous conditions. You have worked day and night with little to no rest for over three days just so people like us can get out of our homes and onto the roads.

The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning for the Foxborough area from 6 a.m. Friday to 1 a.m. Saturday, calling for 18 to 24 inches of snow to slam the region. Foxborough Department of Public Works Director Roger Hill and Foxborough Police Chief Edward O'Leary urge residents to believe the hype surrounding Friday's storm. "This is a big deal," Hill said. "This is a public safety hazard. People say they are just hyping the weather but if I can’t get people out of their houses and the power goes out and stays out, that’s going to be a problem. That could be a catastrophic problem." Fortunately for Foxborough, Hill has plenty of experience handling major storms. The DPW director recalled plowing the Blizzard of '78. "We know…
