Charlottesville Public Works Responds to Forecasted Winter Weather
CHARLOTTESVILLE , VA - The Public Works Department is actively making preparations to respond to the forecasted winter storm that is projected to bring impacts to the area beginning Saturday morning . Current forecasts indicate precipitation will begin as snow before transitioning to sleet/freezing rain and eventually rain . Total accumulation is predicted to remain within the 1" - 3" range , but the combination of icy precipitation could make for hazardous driving conditions .
Public Works will continue to monitor the forecast for changes and will have staff and equipment on stand - by to begin treatment as necessary . While Public Works staff work to ensure equipment and chemicals are ready to go , we ask that residents stay off the roads during the storm if possible . Crews are better able to service and treat streets with less traffic and it maximizes safety for everyone .
