Alaskan Fall Drops In On New Milford

Police Chief Frank Papapietro is providing New Milford Patch readers with updates about the storm.

Chief Papapietro is out on the road with his officers and said that road conditions are likely to deteriorate throughout the night and cautioned that "all unnecessary travel should be avoided."

Papapietro added there are scattered power outages around town. DPW plows are out clearing the roads while DPW tree trucks are out cutting dangerous branches weighted down with snow. Before they can cut any branches that are hanging over power lines they have to wait for PSE&G to cut the power to the lines. 

Papapietro says, "The real danger is from falling trees and branches."

Let us know how you're "weathering" the storm.
