City Relaxing Sidewalk Shoveling Rules After Blizzard, Keeping Parking Ban in Place

The City of Watertown will give residents a break from the sidewalk snow shoveling rules after the blizzard of Jan. 22 and 23 dumped around 15 inches of snow on top of snow remaining from the storm in January. But the overnight parking ban — scheduled to end on Feb. 28 — will be in place until further notice. This winter’s storms have already sapped Watertown’s snow and ice fund for the winter, so the Council approved additional dollars to be spent on snow removal.

WEEKEND FUN: Irish & Scottish Music, Lunar New Year, Karaoke, Cribbage, Family Yoga
|
Let’s celebrate that this snowy February is almost behind us, a month to remember. To get your ya-yas out, you could go drink and sing at Karaoke this Friday night at the Mighty Squirrel Taproom. Or Saturday afternoon, you might head to the library to join our Asian neighbors celebrating the Lunar New Year. If you are in a competitive frame of mind, there is a cribbage tournament on Sunday afternoon at the Ancient Order of the Hibernians. Perhaps instead you feel like getting mellow with your kids and stretching out your shoveling muscles. Artemis Yoga is holding some Family Yoga classes Saturday afternoon that would fit that bill. On Sunday afternoon there is a concert at Gore Place with a duet called Mrs. Wilberforce, with Kyra Davies and Sean Smith. They will be playing Irish, Scottish and Cape Breton music. The tea drinking part happens before the concert. Then wake up on Sunday, and it will be March 1st. It won’t be T-shirt weather yet but keep your eyes open for bulbs to start popping, that is, if they can break through the snow.
