Not quite DOT's problem, but where can I find out about river and lake conditions? There is one of each within a half mile of home, plus a smaller pond that's probably merged with the lake by now, but none close enough to simply look for myself.

Hey MassDOT, this a great service, keep it up! Please add a time stamp to your posts though so we can see how old the info is, thanks.
=============================================
Thanks, no automatic time stamp but we are always noting general time of day in headline and also add all roads to every list. So please check the newest post for the best information.

Any updates on Walpole? I heard 1A might be flooded.
=========================================
Our district office says: Route 27, points west of 1A, Town closing it at Route 1 to avoid congestion.
