Where we see a great photo the MPD sees an accident waiting to happen. Please see the following caution (and heed it) from the Milton Police regarding “mountains of snow” at Kelly, MHS, and Andrew field (and there may be others).
ATTENTION PARENTS: We want to thank Becky Padera for capturing this picture and MTM for posting the snow farm at Kelly Field. In the past week, contractors and DPW crews have moved almost 20 tons of snow from our streets to three snow farms, Kelly Field, Edge Hill Rd by Cunningham Park and Gile Rd behind MHS. Kelly is the largest and stands out to the human eye. This definitely has a curiosity factor.
