BOSTON (WHDH) - The Massachusetts Department of Transportation has mobilized more than a thousand pieces of equipment to handle a storm that is bringing snow, sleet, and freezing rain to much of New England.
Crews were busy at the MassDOT facility in Dorchester late Saturday night, making final preparations for the first major storm of the season.
MassDOT spokeswoman Jaquelyn Goddard said that as of 9 p.m., the department had 1,281 pieces of equipment deployed for snow and ice operations.
She also warned that air temperatures are expected to plummet Sunday afternoon, leading to freezing conditions on wet pavement.
Motorists are urged to stay off the roadways if possible.
