A Winter Weather Advisory for Delaware County and surrounding areas is in effect from 1 PM Friday to 10 AM Saturday. Here’s what you need to know:
❄️ Expected Snow: 2 to 4 inches of accumulation.
🚗 Impacts: Slippery road conditions likely, particularly during the Friday evening commute.
🛑 Precautions: Drive cautiously and check OHGO.com for updated road conditions.
Plan ahead and stay safe! 🌨️
As we prepare for another round of snow, here are some key reminders to ensure safety and efficiency issued by the City of Delaware:
🛠️ How You Can Help
- Clear Sidewalks: Keep your sidewalks free of snow and ice to ensure safe passage for neighbors and students walking to school. (City ordinance 521.06)
- Avoid Passing Plows: Never pass an actively plowing truck traveling in the same direction.
- Keep Streets Clear: Do not shovel or blow snow into the street, and move parked cars off the road to give plows better access.
🚧 Snow Operations Priorities
- Priority 1 & 2 Routes: These main roads with higher traffic volume and speed limits get plowed first.
- Priority 3 Routes (Residential Streets): Plowing begins after Priority 1 and 2 streets are cleared, focusing on neighborhoods with upcoming trash collection. These routes are plowed during storms with 3+ inches of snow.
- Bike Paths & Parking Lots: Managed by the Parks & Recreation team using smaller equipment.
🧂 Pre-Treatment
- Roads are pre-treated with brine before storms to prevent snow and ice from bonding, making plowing more effective.
