Medford: How Are You Dealing With the Storm?
Some details on the aftermath of the biggest snowstorm in years.
The snow has stopped, but the work of cleaning up from one of the biggest snowstorms in local history is just getting ramped up.
Between Friday and Saturday, Medford saw upwards of two feet of snow. All across the city, people have begun the process of digging out.
On Saturday, the city made a reverse 911 call with a message from Medford Mayor Michael J. McGlynn, which said that 108 plows, both city and private contractors, have been working to clear city streets.
