People Heed Advice and Stay Off Roads
The Nor’easter that swept through the region Wednesday night into Thursday morning dumped 10 inches of snow on Easton and knocked out power for 90 residents.
“A tree took down a utility pole and wires on North Street,” according to Police Chief Rich Doyle. “United Illuminating Company is on the scene.”
One minor accident was reported overnight. Traffic was light. State crews and the Easton Department of Public Works are out clearing roads, the chief said.
“The blowing snow is covering plowed roads,” Doyle said. “The precipitation turned to sleet during the night for about an hour. The roads are slick. People should not venture out yet.”
Doyle thanked residents for heeding the advice and staying off the roads overnight. “People should stay home,” he continued to advise.
The pandemic contributed to the light traffic conditions with many people working from home. Kids will be able to go out and play in the snow once the storm passes through the area this afternoon.
Easton looks like a winter wonderland, one of the joys of country living. And the sun is forecast to come out this afternoon.
