Posted Fri. Feb. 15, 11:30 a.m. The National Weather Service is tracking a series of winter storms expected to bring ice, snow and snow showers to Sedona off and on beginning Friday evening and continuing through President's Day. The NWS calls for 1-4 inches of snow accumulation possible through the period at elevations around 4,000 feet, along with blustery winds.

City public safety and public works personnel and equipment are on call and prepared to respond to icy/snowy road conditions by plowing and applying cinders, and will focus first on emergency routes such as SR 89A, then large neighborhood connectors, then smaller neighborhood streets.

Use discretion and always put safety first -- if you don't have to drive in the midst of a storm, don't drive. Winter weather conditions combined with hilly roads create special safety hazards and require slow, careful driving. In addition to snow and ice, flooded washes and roadways are also a real possibility during these storms, and are extremely dangerous. Don't enter flooded areas.
