Description
A prolonged winter storm is expected, with snowfall occurring over an estimated 24–36 hour period. During an extended storm like this, many roads will remain snow-covered even after being plowed multiple times. Residents should avoid unnecessary travel and stay off the roads whenever possible to help keep everyone safe and allow crews to work effectively.
Plowing plan and timing:
*State roads and major arteries will be prioritized first, followed by secondary streets.
*Due to the duration of the storm, there may be periods, especially overnight, when few (or no) plow trucks are on the road, depending on storm timing and conditions.
We do not expect to complete street clearing until sometime Monday afternoon. Alleyways may not be cleared until as late as Tuesday.
We appreciate your patience as crews work through challenging conditions. Please continue to check our website and social media for updates throughout the storm.
Helpful reminders:
*Keep vehicles off the street if possible to assist plowing operations.
*Use caution if you must travel and allow extra time and distance for stopping.
*If you see a downed wire, stay away and report it to the appropriate utility provider.
