Wellesley Department of Public Works ( DPW ) crews are preparing for the snowstorm predicted this weekend on Saturday , January 6 and Sunday , January 7 .  
   The storm is expected to bring plowable snow and gusty winds . Crews will be pre - treating Wellesley ' s main roads and hills on Saturday with liquid de - icer ( brine ) and have salting and plowing trucks standing by . DPW will be working closely with Wellesley Police and Fire Departments to respond to any emergencies .
   Wellesley Public Schools have cancelled all building rentals and athletic events on Sunday so parking lots and sidewalks can be cleared in time for a return to school on Monday morning .  
   A few snow reminders for our community:
   If possible , stay home and off the roads during the storm . Clean up will take time; crews clear main roadways first , followed by residential streets , and sidewalks . Wait to clear driveway openings until plows have passed .  
   Clear snow from fire hydrants in your neighborhood . See our
   Adopt a Fire Hydrant mapfor locations near your home .  
   Wear bright , reflective clothing when shoveling and plowing sidewalks , driveways and near roadways . If visibility is poor , it can be difficult for plow drivers to see pedestrians .  
   Check on elderly neighbors and friends .  
   When shoveling snow , take frequent breaks and stop if you begin to feel unwell . Call 9 - 1 - 1 if symptoms don ' t resolve quickly .
