The forecast for today is calling for about 4″ of dry, powdery snow to start falling between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm this afternoon and accumulate throughout the evening before ending at about midnight. Another, larger storm is forecast for Thursday of this week as well.
The temperatures for todays storm are not expected to get above 13. As a result, salt will be ineffective. Salt becomes ineffective when temperatures get below 15 degrees.
We will make the decision later in the day whether we should plow the dry, powdery snow off all residential streets or since there is no snow build up on the residential streets and the snow will be dry, wait until the bigger storm on Thursday to plow all streets.
There is also a possibility of a Snow Emergency declaration later today as well. Please check back.
