Watertown Home Depot Temporarily Closed Due to Snow Accumulation on Roof
|
Following the heavy snowfall last weekend, the Home Depot in Watertown has been closed due to the snow on the roof of the store on Arsenal Street. A crew from WBZ Channel 4 on Wednesday found the parking lot closed, a handmade sign saying “Store Closed,” and some confused shoppers. The station reached out to Home Depot and got a message saying that the store was closed “out of an abundance of caution” due to “significant snow accumulation on the roof.” The store is working with City officials to make sure the store is safe for shoppers and employees. A screenshot from WBZ Channel 4.
