Update shared on Seymour situation

From Kurt Miller's Facebook page:

Text from today's Code Red:

"This is Seymour First Selectman Kurt Miller with a storm update utilizing the Code Red System.
I would like to start first by thanking our Department of Public Works crews for the tireless effort they have put in since Friday. Most of them have worked around the clock with very little sleep to complete this extremely difficult job. They, along with the members of the Seymour Police, Fire and EMS have once again step up to the challenging times to make Seymour safe. 
I am very appreciative of all that they have done for us.
 
The town has completed the process of opening just about every road. We do have a few roads left that require a bulldozer to finish. It is currently making its way to the different areas. 
We are now in the process of widening and cleaning roads as well as opening up intersections. This process will take most of today and well into tomorrow. 
As we do this, snow will be pushed back toward and potentially into people’s driveways. I wish this was not the case, but it must be done in order to move the snow out of the lanes of traffic. With the potential of more snow tomorrow night, we need to get as much done today and tomorrow as we can. I will be out with the trucks the rest of the day making sure we are getting everything done. 
 
As a reminder, I have suspended garbage pickup for the next few days to keep the cans from being in the street. 
 
Seymour Schools will be closed tomorrow but all municipal buildings will be open. I will provide one more update tonight with our progress. Thanks and have a great day."
