Be sure to take any political signs out of your lawns. The wind tonight is going to get pretty strong so they could become airborne.

If you're looking to get your coffee fix be sure to get it by early afternoon. Hopkinton Gourmet will be closing at 1. Coffee Haven in Holliston will be closing around 3. Water Fresh Farm and Pejamajo both said the aren't sure and will play it by ear.

Thanks Sean.
Carolyn Dykema has also been sending out the same message by email and social medi since last evening as well.
We all know the community safety is the most important right now and not political visibility. Hopefully all the canidates are reaching out to their supporters to do the same. These could potentially be flying weapons or at the very least additonal litter among debris.

Yes, Sean - Marty Lamb has sent out email on the same subject last night as well and posted on facebook. I'm hearing it from all camps everywhere.

Schools have not been canceled yet. I would imagine we will get a better idea about cancelations around 4-5 p.m. today. The Governor is holding a press conference at 3:30 p.m.
Similar to yesterday's conference I think he'll make a recommendation about schools for tomorrow.
