Foxboro can expect an early release on Tuesday, but it won’t be because of a little snow in the morning. Happy holidays, [email protected]

Sam,
Something to be aware of for your next story on 3Bristol. An unpopular prop 2 1/2 override (33% turnout) in Easton drew out Republican-leaning voters. Likely wouldn’t have been so close otherwise.

Moving to a wishy-washy 50-50 on a Thursday morning delay, #Foxboro, but with temperatures moderating by 9 a.m., the odds of a snow day are down to 1-in-20. #JohnsonIndex.

We could be looking at a late start on Thursday, #Foxboro. The timing favors slippery roads early. Other towns might be a little gunshy after last week, but FPS has a chance to show them again how it’s done. Our early call here at the #JohnsonIndex is 40% delay, 20% snow day. Stay tuned!
