Branching out

17 January 2007 | Updates | No Responses

Now that most college students in Worcester have returned for the spring semester and more wintry weather has finally made an appearance, ParkingBan is hoping for some more action. If you haven’t already, you may see the ad below on Facebook the next few days. Give ParkingBan a shot; as soon as is necessary, ParkingBan will not fail to alert you of the situation.

Finally some winter(ish) weather

Finally Worcester may experience some winter weather. The National Weather Service predicts freezing rain, a wintry mix, some snow, and some rain for the 36 hours leading through Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (keep in mind this holiday delays Worcester trash collection by one day this week). I do not expect this system will result in a parking ban, but the so-called “weather rainbow” does indicate that Worcester County is in a winter weather advisory.

I’ll work on a feature explaining the differences among rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow and what a “wintry mix” really means for next time.

Rainy New Year

This weather is not how I would expect 2007 to start.  I certainly hope that it snows enough for a declared winter parking ban sometime in 2007.  Happy New Year and Happy Parking!
