Latest Snow & Ice Control Updates

The City’s crews prepared trucks and will be called in as needed tonight, Thurs., March 16, and overnight into Fri., March 17, due to the potential for a refreeze. Rain may change over to snow/sleet, and temperatures are expected to drop. High winds should dry out pavements; however, crews will be called in as needed to apply salt treatment in case any wet pavement refreezes. Drivers should be aware of the potential for refreeze especially on elevated surfaces such as bridges and overpasses.

The City’s crews are scheduled to report at 7 a.m. on Fri., March 3, and will treat streets with salt as needed if rain changes over to snow. The most recent forecast shows snow chances have diminished, and pavement temperatures are expected to remain above freezing. If there is any snow it is expected to accumulate on grassy areas and on elevated surfaces which could become slushy and slick. Drivers should use caution on elevated surfaces such as bridges and overpasses during the Friday morning commute.

The City will continue to monitor the weather forecast and update its response accordingly.
