Waterford Storm Central: Schools Closed, No Garbage Pickup, Meetings Rescheduled, Parking Ban

The Winter Storm Warning in effect for our area was set to expire at 6 a.m. Wednesday but we can still expect to see light snow falling through this morning, tapering off at around noon, according to Weather.com. 

Temperatures today will remain dangerously cold, with a high of 18 degrees and an overnight low of 4 degrees. Winds blowing NNW at 25 to 35 mph, with gusts over 40 mph at times, will make it feel even colder.  

Here's how the storm is affecting life in Waterford so far. If you know of additional cancellations or events that have been rescheduled, please post them in the comments.

Waterford Parking Ban

The Town of Waterford parking ban will be in effect until all the roadways have been cleared by the public works department. All vehicles must be removed from the roadway and any vehicles that have not been removed are subject to being towed at the owners expense.  

A parking ban is also in effect for the City of New London.

No Garbage Pickup Today

Due to a lack of personnel, Waterford Public Works won't be picking up garbage or recycling today. People who normally put out garbage for collection on Wednesday should put it out Thursday. Thursday pickup will happen as usual.
