Waterford – Snow plows will continue to focus on the main drags as crews begin digging the roads out of about two feet of snow.

Waterford Police Chief Murray J. Pendleton said plows had to abandon the roads Friday night as the blizzard intensified and returned to work around 8 a.m. today.

“The actual plowing of the roads did not take place until the majority of the storm subsided,” he said.

Main thoroughfares like Boston Post Road, Clark Lane, Route 32 and Rope Ferry Road are “passable,” he said, but “not the roads that we’re accustomed to driving on.”

“They’re bumpy, they’re ruddy, they’re snow-covered,” he said.

Pendleton said plows will focus first on clearing these streets and work their way into connector roadways and finally into residential neighborhoods later today.

“It’s a work in progress as we speak,” he said.
