We do not guess. These towns are listed so you know to ask rather than assume there is no rule.
- Newport: The town's website FAQ page returned an error when read on Oct 17, 2026, so rules are not listed. Ask Newport Public Works.
- Enfield: The highway department's policies page links snow removal and ice control documents only; no dated ban was found. Ask the town.
- Canaan: Only an archived 2021-22 notice was found, which is not current. Ask the town.
- Other Upper Valley towns (Lyme, Orford, Plainfield, Cornish, Grantham, Springfield and others): Not checked yet.
