After a lengthy spell of dry weather, we were lucky to have rain earlier this week - and lots of it - beginning on Labor Day and continuing into the next day. Wondering how much fell? Here's the answer, below:
| Town | Precipitation (Inches) Measured on 9/6/2022 |
Precipitation (Inches) Measured on 9/7/2022 |
Total Precipitation Two-Day Measurement |
| Westwood | 1.46 | 1.35 | 2.81 |
| Millis | 2.48 | 1.42 | 3.90 |
| Walpole | 2.45 | 1.38 | 3.83 |

Rain fell for all or most of the day on Monday and Tuesday, coming to a two-day total of 2.81 inches for Westwood, 2.89 inches for Norwood, 3.83 inches for Walpole, and 3.9 inches for Millis.
The above measurements represent the average daily precipitation, as reported by observers in each town. Data represents total precipitation over the 24-hour period that immediately preceded the recording of the data.
I am in complete support of the refurbishing and reopening of Norwood Hospital. I was working at Saint Elizabeth during this time. When steward took over our HOSPITAL group, Caritas Christie. They decimated not only our hospitals, but also two hospitals in the tiny nation of Malta.
Moderate or heavy snow showers, with a high of 38 and low of 24 degrees. Sunny during the morning, light sleet during the afternoon, ice pellets in the evening, clear overnight.
Senator Rush is correct re: the ambulatory services. One only has to drive on RTE 109/Westwood to see the number of out of town ambulances going through town at all times of the day. Then they have to get to Boston or Needham.
This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction. However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
