Bedford DPW’s Highway Division is taking advantage of Friday morning’s warm temperatures — in the upper-50s — to clear catch basins in preparation for anticipated torrential rain from a significant storm moving up the coast.

The department is also geared up to address the freezing conditions expected to follow when the rain ends and temperatures plummet in a ‘flash freeze’ on Saturday.

All 6 of Bedford’s 6 sanders will be loaded and ready to make Bedford’s roads safe when the temperature drops.
