While town and city plow crews gear up to treat the roads ahead of the snowstorm, tow truck companies are hoping people will stay off of them entirely.
"Every snowstorm is a bad snowstorm," says Frank Seccurra, owner of Quality Towing & Auto Repair. "If it's too little, people still drive. If it's a lot, people still drive. Nobody stays home."
The brunt of the storm isn't predicted to hit the area until Sunday, but since Seccurra expects his company to respond to well over a dozen calls for service, he's using the next few days to prepare.
"I expect the roads to be very bad, icy, and slushy," Seccurra says. "Stay safe, stay home."
He's calling in extra staff for the weekend, performing last-minute inspections on his fleet of trucks, and adding chains to tires on his trucks.
"Everybody's on the clock," Seccurra says. "24 hours a day for the next couple of days."
Seccurra says the best way to stay safe and prevent accidents during a snowstorm is by staying off of the roads.
"Go get all of your essentials before the storm," he says. "If you do get into a crash, call 911."
