HOLDEN , Mass. - Winter weather Monday morning downed trees and knocked out power in parts of central Massachusetts.

In Holden, police were asking drivers to stay home if they can, as multiple trees came down across town, including one that fell on Main Street, completely blocking the road. Holden DPW director John Woodsmall said they are expecting things to get busier throughout the day. ​

"Right now in terms of DPW, we are putting plows on our trucks getting ready for the snow that's coming," Woodsmall said. "We are getting another three to five inches which is going to make things much worse in terms of the snow load and ice load on the trees."

Similar scenes are being reported across central Massachusetts. Hubbardston, Rutland and Princeton are also dealing with their share of downed trees and power outages.
