Ski areas might be ecstatic about Friday’s storm, coming as it does right before the all-important Christmas school vacation, but folks who keep the roads clear are less so.
Concord is among many places still looking for snowplow operators, dangling a $1,000 signing bonus and guarantee 40-hour paid week “whether it snows or not” as an incentive.
The current storm is expected to drop as much as two feet of snow at higher elevations in southern Vermont and central New Hampshire, a fact that delights ski areas.
The Concord area will get less than that, although the total amount will depend on whether the storm changes to rain or wet sleet.
The city of Concord is reminding people that winter parking bans require cars to be off streets between midnight and 7 a.m. City residents can use parking garages overnight for free while Penacook residents can use the Canal Street Municipal Lot near Chief’s Restaurant. “Although this lot is posted for no overnight parking, the city's Parking Division will suspend this regulation during city-wide winter parking bans to accommodate Penacook residents,” according to the city manager’s newsletter.
