We all like to think we are prepared until the snow falls and then we find the shovel is broken, the snow blower won't start and you just realized you need new tires. MEMA has a great resource at http://mass.gov/snow that can help you get through the winter with less stress and greater safety. We encourage all residents to take a look and save the site to your favorites. And... don't wait for the power to out and it's too late! Plan ahead, be prepared, and have a great holiday season. Pepperell Emergency Management.
