Snow Days & Snowplows ❄️

It’s been a snowy week in Norwood.

The storm brought a rare pause to town life. Schools closed, schedules shifted, and many of us found ourselves digging out driveways and sidewalks. At the same time, crews from the Department of Public Works were out early and late, clearing streets and keeping the community moving.

Our cover story looks at that balance between a snow day for students and a long day’s work for the people behind the plows.

Thanks for reading. Here’s what we published this week.
