Workers were busy Monday, preparing vehicles and equipment at the public works garage on Ledge Road. Town officials, including First Selectman Jayme Stevenson, huddled inside the building to review what needs to be done.
"We are all gassed up, our gas tanks are full," Stevenson said. "We're fully prepared already, and now we are in the waiting phase. And we are hoping our guys get home to get a little bit of rest before they have to come back probably have to work a 24-hour shift."
Stevenson said the town is ramping up as it would for any other storm, although this nor'easter promises to be more severe.
"We are preparing the way we would for any New England snowstorm, although based on the latest snowstorms, this could be a very interesting storm in just the amount of snow that we get how heavy the snow will be and with the high winds that are being predicted," she said.
Darien Town Hall and the Darien Library will be closed on Tuesday.
