City crews are treating streets today.
City operations: Twenty crews continue patrolling arterial streets, bus and school routes applying granular salt pre-wet with brine. Services other than emergency response may be temporarily suspended in the event that visibility becomes too poor for vehicle operators to safely perform their duties. Treatment strategies can be rendered ineffective during blizzard conditions. Additional resources are standing by for post-storm plowing and cleanup.
National Weather Service: A Blizzard Warning is in effect through 6 p.m. Friday. Snow accumulations of up to two inches and winds up to 60 mph are possible.
Weather conditions: Cloudy and windy
Street conditions: Streets are partially snow covered with winter driving conditions. Friday morning and evening commutes will be impacted. Drivers should expect slick conditions and delays. Travel may be difficult to impossible due to near-zero visibility.
Emergency preparedness: Travel should be restricted to emergencies only. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle. The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 511.
