Sheriff Kevin J. McConville advises residents that we will experience phase 2 of today’s storm, bringing frigid temperatures and icy roadways in the next 2-3 hours. The Sheriff advises staying home if you can and using caution if you must travel.
Slow down and leave plenty of space between your vehicle and the one in front of you. Icy roads can be slippery, and it takes longer to stop or slow down on them.
Avoid sudden movements, such as sudden acceleration, braking, or steering. These can cause your vehicle to lose traction and skid on the icy surface.
Use your brakes gently to avoid skidding. If your wheels start to lock up, ease off the brake pedal.
Also, for the next four days, the weather service predicts frigid temperatures (low teens in the daytime and single digits overnight). We still have some residents without power due to the storm. Residents can call ‘ 211 ’ if needed for information and guidance on warming center locations.
