*** Winter Storm Preparedness Message*****

Greetings Sturbridge,

I may not be a weatherman, and I’ve never played one on TV, but I am a warning man, and according to the National Weather Service, a significant winter storm is possible this weekend!

Now is the time to prepare. I encourage everyone to:

1. Check and test generators

2. Ensure you have flashlights, batteries, and charged devices

3. Fill water bottles and have essential supplies on hand

4. Make a plan in case of power outages

Travel only if absolutely necessary. Road conditions can deteriorate quickly, and unnecessary travel puts you and first responders at risk. If you do travel be sure your car is equipped with safety essentials such as a flashlights, blankest and extra clothing.

Do not park on town streets during the storm so plow crews can safely and effectively do their job.

Rest assure the Sturbridge Police Department has added additional personel to ensure adequate coverage throughout the storm.

As we all know, this is New England and the weather conditions can and do change, sometimes rapidly,. That said, we are beginning our preparations now, and I strongly encourage you to do the same.

Stay safe, stay informed, and look out for one another.

In Safety,

Chief Dessert

With all of the storms and early shop closings (or not being able to open at all) I’m happy to announce that we are open today until 4 PM! Come grab some tea and a cozy candle for the weekend, because here comes more snow!

01/18/2026

The shop will not be open today! All roads leading out of town have been untouched by plows in my area. I don’t know what’s been going on with the weather forecasting lately, but it’s been about as accurate as flipping a coin.
