Snow is here! You’ll see some light snow this morning, and possibly Wednesday night into early Thursday. We’re prepared, and you can be too.

We’re conducting a snow plow practice run this week. Here’s how you can prepare for winter.

Remember, you can count on us to clear major streets, but crews can’t be everywhere at once. It is everyone’s responsibility to clear ice and snow from the sidewalks around their homes and businesses to keep communities safe. 

Cold air will stay through early next week, so we’re preparing for more snow if it comes.
