So where's Peter Tesei? Ansonia's mayor is out operating a snow plow. Our leader's at home sniffing hot cocoa

But it's so werry cold out there!

And he's ordered Ansonia's Town Hall to open tomorrow at 8:30.

Ansonia Mayor David Cassetti was plowing snow in a city truck on East Main Street and a short time ago on Beaver Street. The mayor said the big issue has been people ignoring the city's parking ban which remains in effect until 6 p.m. Friday.

"We've had to tow at least 75 cars so far because they were illegally parked," the mayor said. "My goal is to get all these streets cleaned curb to curb. We can't do that if people don't move their cars."

He said City Hall will open Friday as usual from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

"We've got a lot of work to do in keeping this city moving forward," he said.
