There was a water main break around 11:00 this morning at the Lord Overpass over Dutton/Thorndike Street. The latest info I have says that  the up ramp from Thorndike Street to the Overpass is closed and that Appleton Street at the Overpass to Middlesex Street  (Shelter side) is closed. The police are asking people to avoid that area as much as possible.

Also, not surprisingly, a parking ban has been declared effective at midnight until further notice.  Please make sure to move your car from the surface lot before then or you risk being towed. Beginning at 7:00 this evening certain city garages have free parking for city residents; unfortunately, they don’t include the Leo Roy so those people who normally park in the surface lot will either have to pay or walk a ways.

The coming storm is supposed to be a doozy. Keep warm and stay safe!
