The National Weather Service has issued a forecast predicting another winter storm expected to impact the area from Friday afternoon through Saturday. Residents are advised to follow several safety reminders during this period.

Local authorities urge residents to keep LRS carts off the street and away from the curb, ensuring snow plows can operate effectively. Parking on Village streets is prohibited after two or more inches of snow have fallen and for 12 hours following significant snowfall.

Travelers should exercise caution if venturing out during heavy snow conditions. It is recommended to allow extra travel time and check the latest travel forecasts before departing.

Once the storm subsides, those who are able are encouraged to clear snow from fire hydrants, walkways, and sidewalks. However, it is important not to shovel or blow snow into the street.

Residents are reminded to stay safe during this winter weather event.
