The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for our area. Heavy snow and high winds are possible. Expect that a snow emergency will be declared as this storm moves into the area.
Please do not shovel snow into the road way as this creates a safety hazard for drivers and emergency vehicles. As usual our DPS will be out clearing the streets when snow begins to accumulate. Moving your vehicle from the street even before the snow emergency is declared is very much appreciated by our plow drivers and they thank you in advance for your cooperation.
