🌨️ Winter Weather Reminder for This Weekend (Jan. 24-25)
Forecasts are calling for very cold temperatures and the potential for snow and slick conditions this weekend, so now is a great time to take a few simple steps to help keep your family and neighbors safe.
✅ Please take these precautions:
🚗 Do not park in the street.🚗
This allows Public Works crews to clear streets efficiently without worrying about vehicles in the way.
🧂 Public Works will begin pre-treating roads on Friday.🧂
Please use caution when traveling, especially early mornings and at night when temperatures are at their lowest.
🏠 Stay home when possible.🏠
If roads become slick, limiting travel helps keep everyone safe and gives crews room to work.
💧 Drip your faucets.💧
Turn the water on to a slow drip to help prevent pipes from freezing.
➕ Additional winter storm tips to know ➕
🔥 Keep your heat on. Set thermostats to at least 55 degrees, even if you’re away.
🚪 Open cabinet doors under sinks (especially on outside walls) to let warm air circulate.
🚰 Know where your water shutoff is in case a pipe bursts.
🔋 Charge devices and have flashlights ready in case of outages.
🧤 Gather supplies now: salt or sand, blankets, batteries, bottled water, and easy meals.
🚗 Fuel up early and keep an emergency kit in your vehicle if you must travel.
⚠️ Use generators safely: never run one in a garage or near windows or doors.
🧊 Watch for black ice on bridges, overpasses, and shaded areas, even if roads look clear.
🌟 Stay safe and move through this winter wonderland weekend!
