Many residents of the Township are experiencing power outages. This is one option that is close to home if you need to charge your devices or warm up, although travel is not advised right now due to road conditions and down power lines and trees. Xcel Energy power restoration is after Thanksgiving. Please reach out to the Sheriff’s Department if you have an emergency.

❄️ WEATHER & ELECTRIC UPDATE #5 – OUTAGE, ROADS & WARMING CENTER

The City of Wakefield is currently experiencing a significant power outage near the intersection of Ahola Road south of US-2, along with several isolated outages throughout the community.

Our Electric Department crew has been working since early this morning to restore service as quickly and safely as possible. At this time, the anticipated restoration timeframe is approximately 12–16 hours, depending on weather and access conditions.

Crews will continue working for another few hours before taking a necessary rest break. Full restoration efforts will resume early tomorrow morning.

🚗 Road Conditions

Road conditions continue to deteriorate, and although our snow-removal team remains out, City streets will remain dangerous for the rest of the evening.

👉 Please avoid travel unless absolutely necessary.

🔥 Warming Center Open

The Wakefield Municipal Building is open from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM for anyone needing a place to warm up or charge devices.
If there is a demonstrated need, the building will remain open later.

📢 Next Update

The City will provide another update in two hours.

Please stay safe, stay warm, and check on neighbors who may need assistance.

Thank you for your continued patience as our teams work through this storm. ❄️💙
