Weather a challenge for North officials

NORTH ATTLEBORO - English poet Anne Bradstreet once wrote “If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: If we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”

While that may be true, the majority of area residents would probably agree the snow, sleet, rain and ice over the past few weeks have them yearning for better weather.

While it’s simply an inconvenience for most, it’s a major headache for municipalities who are responsible for keeping roads safe and flooding to a minimum. DPW workers, for example, were back in prep mode Thursday in advance of today's expected snow.

North Attleboro Town Manager Michael Borg spoke to North TV Thursday about the weather over the first four weeks of the winter season.
