Light Saturday Snow has Little Impact on Township

Thanks to the snow falling lighter than expected and occurring on a weekend, Springfield’s emergency services had a quiet day despite the snowfall.

Office of Emergency Management Coordinator John Cottage was out early this morning. He said that the roads were largely clear.

“The good news is that it was a Saturday,” Cottage said. “People didn’t have to go to work, so the roads were empty.

He noted that the snow was less than predicted, and characterized the accumulation as “basically nothing.”

“I did my driveway with a broom,” Cottage said. 

Cottage said Public Works crews made had already quick work of the snow.

The also had an uneventful snowfall, with no snow-related emergencies reported.
