Winter Weather Advisory: Stay Safe and Informed

As a significant snowfall is expected to hit our region from Saturday evening to Monday morning, the Castle Shannon Police Department urges everyone to exercise good judgment and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and the safety of others.

Stay Home if Possible: Many communities and government officials are advising citizens to stay home this weekend if possible. This will help reduce traffic on the roads, allowing our crews to clear them efficiently for emergency vehicles and continued access.

No Overnight Parking on Roads: Please note that there is no overnight parking on roads in Castle Shannon during inclement weather or the threat of impending weather. Park your vehicles off the roadways to allow our crews to clear the streets.

Check on Elderly Neighbors and Relatives: Take a moment to check on elderly neighbors and relatives to ensure they have adequate supplies and heat. This small act of kindness can go a long way in keeping them safe and warm.

911 is for Emergencies Only: Please do not call 911 about road conditions. Save 911 for emergencies only. Our road crews will prioritize main roads and hills first, and then attend to other areas.

Stock Up and Stay Patient: Stock up on essential supplies today and Saturday, and plan to stay home on Sunday. Our road crews will be working hard to clear the streets, so please be patient and let them do their job.

By following these simple guidelines, we can all stay safe and informed during this winter weather event. Stay warm, and enjoy your weekend!
