HERE WE GO AGAIN...
Blizzard Warning: Effective from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm Expect blizzard conditions with snow accumulations of 2-10 inches and wind gusts up to 65 mph.
High Wind Warning: Effective from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm North winds of 25-35 mph, gusting up to 65 mph, may cause downed trees and power lines.
Parking Prohibition: Emergency snow routes will activate a parking prohibition at 2 inches of accumulation for 24 hours. Visit our interactive map at bit.ly/fdsnowroutes for details.
Snow Removal Tips: Park off-street if possible during snow removal. You can temporarily park across sidewalks or in right-of-ways until plowing is complete.
We Understand Some Must Travel: If you must travel during these conditions, please do so with extreme caution. However, for those who can stay home, we encourage you to do so. Last storm, some drivers got stuck, diverting critical resources and hampering our clean-up efforts. Unnecessary driving also worsens road conditions by packing down snow, creating slick surfaces and ruts.
Plan of Attack: Public Works will focus on emergency snow routes, hills, and bridges first. Residential areas will be addressed when it's safe to do so. Note: alleys will likely not be cleared on Wednesday, so plan accordingly if you usually park in an alley.
