Areas of Marshfield are still a mess following the powerful nor’easter last week.
“The loader scraped everything off, and the guys came out with hand tools and opened everything up for the water to get in,” Shawn Patterson, of the Marshfield Department of Public Works, said.
Crews have been working to clear what the ocean forced onshore, and crews have been working to clear storm drains that are now covered with frozen mud.
There are about 3,000 storm drains in town, and the Department of Public Works said it expects to get all of them before the rain starts to fall.
Crews are also working to widen the snow-covered roads further inland to make sure those storm drains are clear.
