Storm Update:

• Timing: Tonight 6pm changing to rain by the AM .
• Olaf Index: 1, Less than an inch possible. There is a high degree of uncertainty in the area so totals could go to Zero. Olaf is expecting no accumulating snow and is very sad
• Dorothy Index:  7, Small dogs should be kept away from the expected 40 mph wind gusts. Anything outside should be secured or stored.
• Elsa Index:7, We will have freezing temperatures so keep aware of freezing water on roadways but Elsa has been working overtime keeping everything in single digits so look for a warm up to the 40s by the AM. 
• McMahon Weather Briefing: slippery start with snow that should quickly go from sleet to rain.  Rain heavy, find a quiet place for the start. Rain may cause ponding due to run off from frozen ground.

• This will be the last report for this storm. Only if roads become terrible will a new report be issued. 

Preparedness:

• The entire Emergency Management Team including the Fire Chief, Business Administrator and Mayor are keeping in constant communication to be sure we are making the most educated decision when it comes to safety and travel.
• Residents are encouraged to prepare for the storm by securing loose items, stocking up on food and needed supplies, charging your phones, tablets, and other mobile devices, and staying off the road during the storm .
• Most importantly, flash flooding is very dangerous and at no time should you attempt to drive through a flooded roadway or intersection. Please avoid the flash flood prone areas. Do not park in flood prone areas. Also be mindful of the possibility of large tree limbs or trees falling due to wind gusts. There will likely be debris in roadways, use extra caution while driving after the storm subsides.
• Know Your Flood Risk – If you live in a flood prone area, whether it be flash flooding or river flooding, you should prepare now for flood impacts. Flooding of streets, yards, and basements is possible with this storm. Have a plan and be ready to act.
• Do not park vehicles in flood prone areas.
• Residents are urged to stay away from any downed wires, and treat all downed wires as “live” even if power appears to be out in the area.
• Prevention Carbon Monoxide Poisoning - Do not run any fuel-powered generators in a garage or other enclosed space or near windows. This is a good time to test battery-powered smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

Carbon Monoxide 

Any gas appliance can be a source of carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas that deprives the body of oxygen, resulting in serious injury or death. Don't use a gas stove as a source of heat, as this increases the likelihood of carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure the stove is vented to the outside and the vent it not blocked. Install a carbon monoxide detector in homes where gas appliances, including gas stoves, are being used.
