This will be one of the largest storms we have seen in quite a while, and has the potential to be very dangerous.

Timeline and Conditions
  • Snow starting around 10PM tonight 2/22/26 with heaviest snow between 3 AM and 12PM on Monday 2/23/26. Snow fall rates of 2-3 inches per hour are expected. Snow will have more moisture content than the previous large storm we had.
  • Wetter snow will increase the weight of the snow, making it harder to move and resulting in greater potential for electric power interruptions.
  • Winds are expecting to be sustained at 30-40 MPH with gusts 50-55 MPH.
Power Outages Expected
  • Eversource will have extra crews brought in. Eversource declared emergency plan estimates that power can be out 3-5 days in some cases. Restorations will not begin until it is safe to do so, per Eversource safety standards.
  • Keep away from any downed power line. Call 911 to report downed wires.
  • Please be extra vigilant if you use candles. Provide clearance around the candles.
  • Be extra careful with gas-powered devices such as idling cars, generators and snow blowers. These can create greater risks for carbon monoxide. Please make sure all carbon monoxide and smoke detectors are operational.
  • Charge all cell phones and devices now. Limit activity on them to save power in case you need to use your phone for an emergency.
  • Do not sit in idling car to charge phone as exhaust may creep in with high levels of carbon monoxide.
Snow Removal and Emergency Preparedness
  • Heavier snows clog augers and chutes of snow blowers. Never use your hands to clear out a snow blower. Always use some form of pole or scraper. 
  • The heavier snow will be a challenge to shovel. Pace yourself. Do not over-exert. Stay hydrated.
  • PARKING BAN IS IN EFFECT. Parking is prohibited on streets and in all municipal parking lots. Do not relocate vehicles to public parking lots and EV charging stations.
  • Please make sure the closest fire hydrant to your home is shoveled out.

 

Sudbury Public Schools and Non-essential Town offices will be closed on Monday, February 23.

 

Please stay informed with local news and social media feeds. 

 

This will be a long, drawn-out event. Thank you in advance for your preparation and patience.
