Unnecessary travel is not recommended during this storm, with roadways possibly becoming treacherous or impassible at times.
Due to this weather emergency, trash service has been cancelled for City of St. Peters customers for today, Friday, Jan. 13. Please do not set out your trash carts for Friday service in St. Peters. Trash collection was cancelled due to the timing and predicted severity of the approaching ice storm. The City’s normal collection schedule will resume on Monday, Jan. 16. Tuesday/Friday trash customers can place extra bags of trash outside the cart on Tuesday, Jan. 17, if necessary.

The City also urges residents to park their cars on their driveways, rather than on the street, during the storm. By moving obstructions such as cars and trash carts from the street, ice and snow removal crews can work more effectively and safely to treat and clear our roads.

Ice removal operations will continue as needed in St. Peters during the storm.

The National Weather Service expects the ice storm to result in hazardous travel conditions, especially on bridges, overpasses and untreated roads. Parking lots and sidewalks will become slippery, as well. Damage to trees and power lines is also possible. An ice storm warning means that a severe and dangerous amount of ice accumulation is occurring or expected to accumulate. The heavy ice accumulation will make travel dangerous or impossible. If you must travel, exercise extreme caution. Begin your travel with a full tank of gas and carry a winter storm kit, which includes a shovel, flashlight, cell phone, food and water, and blankets or extra warm clothing.
