Fwd: Public Works Winter Storm Preparation
This is a message from Allegheny Alerts. Public Works expects rain to transition to snow after 8 p.m. tomorrow and accumulation to begin on pavement after 10 p.m., when temperatures are forecasted to drop below freezing. The snow is predicted to stop midday on Christmas with a total accumulation of 2 to 5 inches and possibly 6 inches in spots. We will be deploying at least 24 salt trucks installed with plows as soon as the snow begins to accumulate on the roads. Pretreating the roadways with salt is not an option because of the rain. We will continue to monitor the forecast and adjust our plans, as needed, to ensure continual coverage of our roads throughout the storm. That might include bringing in more drivers. The rapidly dropping temperatures following the rain and the possibility of blowing snow could create challenging conditions for drivers. We recommend that drivers slow down, avoid sudden stops, increase following distance, and be on the lookout for slick spots, especially on bridges and ramps. If you notice any snow or ice removal issues within the county during the storm, please visit http://alleghenycounty.us/whoplowsmyroad, type in the problematic road(s), and call the phone number(s) provided. -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>
