As we approach the end of January, and almost the midpoint of this winter season, I would like to provide you with continued updates on our winter control activities as they develop.
A sharp cold front is approaching this evening. It is expected to arrive around 4:00am, dropping temperatures significantly in its wake. The event will be preceded by rain and drizzle which will convert to snow as the transition occurs.
Public Works crews have prepared the fleet for deployment in preparation for the “flash freeze” and accompanying snow which will result. We do not expect very much accumulation, but slippery conditions, none the less. In preparation for this, we will begin preparing the roads beginning at 11:00pm in order to achieve pre-salted condition of arterial and collector roads by morning rush hour.Further updates will be issued as necessary.Staff
