Many people are brushing this storm off as more "hype"
Please take these warnings from the NWS very seriously.
We are now officially under a Winter Storm Warning.
...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM THIS MORNING TO 6 AM CST SATURDAY... * WHAT...Snow and blowing snow producing intermittent white out conditions expected. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 5 inches, most of the snow occurring this afternoon and evening. Winds gusting as high as 50 mph expected. Wind chill values of 25 to 35 below zero expected. * WHERE...Portions of central, north central and northeast Illinois. * WHEN...From 9 AM this morning to 6 AM CST Saturday. * IMPACTS...Falling or blowing snow will result in white out conditions with zero visibility at times, making travel extremely difficult. Power outages will also be possible as a result of strong wind gusts to 50 mph. Roads will quickly become ice covered as temperatures rapidly fall late this morning into early afternoon. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Dangerously cold wind chills as low as 30 to 40 below zero tonight through Friday night can cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 20 minutes. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
The City of Rockford started their salting operations.
December 22, 2022 –
The City of Rockford Public Works Department began salting
Arterial Routes at 9:30 AM today.
Decisions about further deployment will be made, as needed, according to developing
conditions.
Citizens are urged to follow at a safe distance behind snowplows. This will prevent the salt that
is being spread from hitting your vehicle and the added distance also allows a driver room to
back up if needed.
City of Rockford Public Works:
What does the Odd/Even Parking Ordinance mean to me?
In order for our crews to remove snow and ice from city streets, we must have the ability to safely and effectively maneuver a plow up and down our streets.
If a snow or ice storm reaches the point that streets are becoming difficult to clear, city officials can declare a Snow Emergency.
A Snow Emergency requires that vehicles be parked on the odd side of the street when the date ends in an odd number and on the even side of the street when the date ends on an even number. For example, on January 5th, you would park on the odd side of the street. If the snow emergency carries into the next day, at 8:00 AM your car should be moved to the even side of the street.
Police will issue parking tickets at the cost of $63.00 to vehicles that are parked on the wrong side of the street.
It’s safe to assume that if it’s snowing the Odd/Even Parking is in effect.
The residential area between 20th St. west to Kishwaukee St., Harrison Avenue north to Rural St. has been problematic for the City Crews to plow during past storms, due to vehicles parked on both sides of the street. We would encourage citizens in this area to move their vehicles either off the street or to the appropriate side of the street as specified by the odd/even parking.
