After yet another coating of snow, the townspeople have had their fill of the white stuff this winter.
It's too early for April Fools jokes, but Mother Nature wasn't kidding on Monday morning as more snow fell in the Stoneham area.

Amanda Chauncy, a recent Salve Regina University graduate, was not in the mood to see snowflakes out her window on Monday morning. “It was very depressing to see the temperature drop and see snow on the ground after the sun and beautiful weather last week,” Chauncy said. Chauncy wants to fast-forward from February into the warmer months where she can be on the ocean under the sun. “I just want it to be …

The second snowstorm of the season has presented several challenges for the town's road-clearing crews to overcome Wednesday, according to Public Works Director Robert Grover.
