Thank you to everyone for staying home yesterday and allowing our Public Works Crew to work safely. They are working today to further clear the roads and apply salt and grit. Please understand the roads are, and will be slick. With temperatures only climbing into the upper 30's today and then dropping into the teens tonight, these conditions will persist well into tomorrow. Steep and shady slopes will remain icy well beyond the weekend. Please respect anyone out working today and be mindful when traveling. Stay safe!!
