Public Works Director Walter Veselka said that snowplow operators and other necessary personnel are going to start getting ready at 7 a.m. to deal with Friday's predicted storm.
Veselka said that forecasters have told the city to expect the snow to begin about 10:30 a.m. and continue until about 9 p.m., with the heaviest snowfall between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. He said it is likely to total between 6 and 10 inches in Bristol.
This year, for the first time, the city is using an ice melting chemical across town. It should cut down on the sand and grit on city roads.

Why did the city plow our street 6 times already (4:30 on Friday)?
Gee pinch, maybe cuz the snow is coming down really hard?
didn't have anything else to do but have your nose pressed against the window pane to see the big, big plow truck go by?
6 times the first 3 hours and then nothing again until after midnight.
Who coordinates their schedule?
Doesn't seem like they are very efficient or interetted in saving money.
ALL city trucks
And it is hard not to notice when on truck just follows another.
Thanks Art
You can tell where all the public works workers live, their roads are plowed and sanded!!!! OH and Duncan Donuts is where you can find them most of the time !!
penny pincher, why don't you just go back into your cave and mate with Pauxatawny Phil.
