Snow is still coming, but less than we thought.
It looks like we won't have 12-16 inches of snowfall with this weekend's snowstorm. New forecasts are projecting lower amounts, and North Andover seems to be in the 3-5 inches area or 5-8 inches area. If you split the difference, it looks like we should see about 5 inches of new snow Saturday into Sunday. Why the sudden drop in expectations? The storm will have the same track, but the temperatures won't be low enough to drop as much snow as anticipated. WHDH meteorologist Pete Bouchard writes on his blog: "With temperatures hovering in the mid and upper 30s we relied heavily on the fact the the storm will be strong and generate its own cold. That isn't happening. Not now, not tomorrow, not Sunday. So the numbers come down." The drop in …

We're in a pattern of weekend snow.
Forecasters have upped potential snowfall amounts for this weekend. According to the latest weather models, North Andover and much of the Merrimack Valley could see up to 16 inches of new snow. And the town's $750,000 snow removal budget is already used up. The blizzard we had a couple weeks ago used up half of it in just that weekend. "Now we have none, I'm over my budget," Division of Public Works Director Bruce Thibodeau said. This, of course, doesn't mean the town won't plow the roads. The snow removal budget is allowed to operate on a deficit, for which the DPW submits a request, and the town will have to offset next year by finding that money somewhere else in the operating budget. Remember that endless snowy winter we had two years …

North Andover could see up to a foot of snow.
Once again, the snow is melting. But once again, don't put the shovels away. Because once again, the weekend is bringing us more snow. A new snowstorm is headed our way for Saturday and Sunday, and North Andover could see up to 12 inches of new snow before it's done. On his blog, WHDH meteorologist Pete Bouchard is calling for light rain along the coast Saturday with snow inland and snow everywhere by Sunday morning. There may also be some coastal flooding. "Heavy snow through early morning Sunday. Roads will be tough to travel, and yes, your flight will most likely be delayed or cancelled. (Although I don't run an airline, so I'll let them have the final word.)," Bouchard writes. As of now, forecasts call for 8 to 12 inches of new snow in…

Several areas of town are being worked on today.
At this time yesterday, there were about 2,400 power outages in North Andover. As of this afternoon, the number was down to about 1,000.

Here are the areas many of you asked about earlier today: Village Green Condominums: This is the number one priority at this point, Coco said. There are about a couple hundred units in that complex, and some residents are operating on generators and have reported serious health issues requiring ventilators and other electric medical equipment.

Now might not be the best time to remind everyone that the state is requiring utilities to increase the percentage of renewable power they use. That means, we will get stuck paying for over-priced Cape Wind power (National Grid has a contract with Cape Wind to purchase 50% of its power for outrageous prices). And we just discovered a so-called 100 year supply of cheap natural gas. The silver … more ›
Crews are working on certain neighborhoods now.
Many more homes in North Andover may have power back today, Emergency Management Director Jeff Coco said. Three days after the worst October snowstorm on record, there are currently about 2,400 homes still without power as of Tuesday afternoon. But crews are busy working on certain neighborhoods to restore power to many. "First they're working on the Johnson Street area, which still has about 900 customers out," Coco said. "They're in the process of doing that as we speak." Next, crews will work on the Middle School and Stevens Memorial Library area. All of the other public schools are restored already. After that, crews will head in toward the more rural neighborhoods today. "From Boston Street all the way into Boxford Street should be …
