The “Blizzard of ’96” rolled into the North Quabbin region with snow, sub-freezing temperatures and high winds. Schools are closed throughout the nine town region and across the state, with many businesses announcing shift closings or delayed openings. Town roads are passable in Athol and Orange, but highway superintendents said roadways are getting narrower with each storm. The major problem now is finding a place to put it all. Depths of up to 18 inches were reported in area towns.

ORANGE A husband and wife have reached out to Moderator Christopher Woodcock in an unsuccessful attempt to ask that Saturday’s special town meeting be postponed until the COVID-19 pandemic is resolved.
Mike Magee and Constance Pike say they refuse to endanger their health by attending the drive-in-style meeting set for 9:30 a.m. They also insist the meeting is being rushed in order to ram through a warrant article that pertains to amending town’s official zoning map.

ORANGE Moderator Christopher Woodcock last week cited the current public health crisis in declaring the Special Town Meeting, originally set for Jan. 7, at Orange Town Hall, be moved to the Ralph C. Mahar Regional School parking lot on Saturday, Jan. 16.
The longtime moderator said there is too great a risk in holding an indoor event during a deadly pandemic that, as of Thursday afternoon, was responsible for 361,000 American deaths. Voters are instead invited to the school parking lot, with the meeting slated to start at 9:30 a.m. Woodcock said town officials agree the meeting can be held safely using this outdoor venue.
