Warren sits right next to Bristol, so it's the shortest run for the crew. Driveway plowing, front-walk and sidewalk shoveling and salting for Warren homes and Main Street storefronts, with trigger depth and visits written down before the first storm, from one local crew that knows the town's ban routine.

Warren is compact and old: Federal and Greek Revival houses packed along Main, Water and Church Streets with little or no driveway, mill-era homes near the river, and newer capes and ranches toward the Kickemuit and Touisset. On-street parking is the norm downtown, which makes bans matter.
Warren's bans have started at midnight and stayed until further notice, so cars need a place off the street before the plows come. In Rhode Island, liability for snow and ice generally starts a reasonable time after the storm ends.
Bristol, Warren and Barrington share the same bay-side storms and the same problem: the town plow comes through after you've cleared the driveway. More on Bristol County, RI, including every town in it.
