Edward W. (Peter) Vincent Jr. of Edgartown has offered to resign from the practice of law, according to an affidavit he has filed with the board that recommends lawyer discipline in Massachusetts.

The resignation request was filed Friday with the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers and if accepted would mean Mr. Vincent would be barred from practicing law for at least eight years, said Bar Counsel Constance V. Vecchione, whose office investigates lawyer misconduct.

The towns of Edgartown and West Tisbury voted Monday afternoon to suspend the lawsuit against the Martha’s Vineyard Commission’s approval of the roundabout.

Following an executive session conference call with attorney Richard Renehan, special counsel for both towns, West Tisbury and Edgartown voted to stop the lawsuit, because, selectmen said, the agency responsible for the project at the blinker intersection can move forward regardless of the lawsuit’s outcome.

The first snowfall of the season sped over the Vineyard last Saturday. The National Weather Service cooperative station in Edgartown recorded close to 8 inches of snow. Melted precipitation was .45 inches.

The origins of the storm came from the west, but its center storm passed to the south of the Vineyard. Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Cape Cod got the brunt of the snowfall. There was significantly less farther inland.

The Aquinnah woman who left home during a snowstorm Saturday night to check on a property she caretakes for and never returned likely died on her way back home, state police Sgt. Tom Medeiros said Monday morning.

Authorities believe the victim, Amanda Hutchinson, stopped to do some sewing at a detached garage apartment before she left her home on Evergreen Way to check on a house on Old South Road. Authorities believe Mrs. Hutchinson died of exposure to the cold upon her return home.
