2/23/26: Mayor Meeting Monday with Windham Mayor Tom DeVivo

February 23, 2026·34 min·3 clips

Mayor Tom DeVivo braves an 18-inch snowstorm to join Wayne Norman for a live radio interview about Windham's response.

Monday opens with snow, naturally. The host welcomes Wyndham Mayor Tom DeVivo back for Mayor Meeting Monday and remembers that his last visit came with 18 inches on January 25. DeVivo takes the teasing well. He says getting to the studio is downhill, but getting home after a storm is where the uphill part shows up. From there, the conversation stays close to town life. They talk about named storms, weather coverage, and the strange feeling that this snowfall looks bigger than the official number. Then the plows become the main event. The host asks what happens when parked cars block the route, and DeVivo explains that towing can happen during a parking ban. T&B Auto gets named. If a car is left out, it can end up there, and the owner pays the tow fee because the storm work still has to happen. Mirrors are the next ordinary headache. DeVivo says public works staff will stop and report it if they hit a car, though liability is a separate matter. Mailboxes get their turn too. He notes that the truck does not always hit the box itself. Sometimes the snow thrown by the plow does the damage. Trash and recycling make cleanup messier. Pickup is delayed by a day, but cans still sit near the road, where plows can knock them over and send garbage around. The host asks about town employees. DeVivo says some will work from home, says he believes Town Hall will be closed, and notes that a warming center is open there. The ending turns quieter. DeVivo remembers a local figure as a visionary who helped people like Mike Paula, along with younger people in politics and life. Susan Johnson is mentioned as well. The segment closes with thanks, still framed by the storm and by that familiar local-radio mix of names, streets, weather, and town business.

Mayor Meeting Monday centers on the kind of local-government talk that matters most when snow is already on the ground. Tom DeVivo and the host move from the storm itself to the practical fallout: parking bans, towing, broken mirrors, mailboxes, delayed trash, recycling, and…
