***Outdated post...please see our latest post for the most up to date information***

Winter Storm Watches are in effect for portions of our region (along and south/east of I-95). What does this mean? Watches are issued when confidence is medium (50% or higher) that significant snow/sleet and/or ice will occur causing potentially significant impacts to travel. Now is the time to PREPARE for significant snowfall in these areas! 🌨

What do we mean by "prepare"? Be prepared to be stuck at home until roads can be cleared. Make sure you have enough food and water to last through the storm. Test out your snow blower and generator if you have one. Power outages are possible, especially near the coast where winds will be strongest.
