12/7/2011 Weather Wrap Up

In case you haven't heard, there's snow in our near future. DPS staff just finished up with a weather briefing with the folks from the National Weather Service, and we wanted to share with you what to expect! Around midnight rain is expected to turn into snow. We can expect 2-4 inches of heavy wet snow. This storm will pack much less of a punch that the October snow storm and at this stage in the game the leaves are off the trees, reducing our risk of downed limbs and trees and massive power outages. BUT you should still stock up on some supplies and get those flash lights and blankets ready. As with any adverse weather, there is always the risk of outages and this system will bring some winds to the area (10-25 mph with 30 mph gusts) which could cause a few outages! Precipitation should end in time for the morning commute and sunshine should return tomorrow!

Stay safe out there and we'll keep you posted if things change!

GET A KIT- MAKE A PLAN- BE INFORMED
