A winter storm system is expected to impact our area with the potential for dangerous ice accumulation, especially on bridges, overpasses, and shaded roadways even a small amount of ice can make travel extremely hazardous and delay emergency response.

🧊 WHAT TO EXPECT
• Slippery and possibly impassable roads
• Potential for downed limbs and powerlines
• Possible power outages lasting multiple days
• Very cold temperatures following the precipitation

🏠 HOW TO PREPARE
• Have food, water, and medications for several days
• Charge phones, medical devices, and battery packs
• Bring pets indoors and protect pipes
• Check on elderly neighbors and those with medical needs

⚠️ TRAVEL SAFETY
If ice develops, the safest place to be is at home. Ice-covered roads are not safe to drive on, even with 4WD/AWD.
