A Major Winter Storm is set to bring over 12″ of snow to most of the area. Blizzard Warnings and Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for all of the area.
The storm will move in around mid day on Sunday and exit Monday. We will see snowfall rates of 1-2″ per hour which will cause very dangerous travel. Also remember to shovel any fire hydrants out.
Here is the latest NWS projections:
This snow will be heart attack snow. PLEASE use caution and take breaks when shoveling.
Safety Preparedness
Officials urge residents to take early precautions:
- Avoid travel if possible during the storm’s peak.
- Prepare emergency supplies (flashlights, water, food) in case of power outages.
- Check on vulnerable neighbors, particularly older adults and those with limited mobility.
Emergency management teams are coordinating with local public works departments to pre-treat roads and deploy snow-removal equipment, but crews may face challenges once heavy snow and winds arrive.
