ICE ALERT
Due to snow plows and the warmer temperatures, there are piles of snow and ice sitting along roads and parking areas around town. Many of these look like harmless melting snow, but in reality they are solid blocks of ice that will destroy your vehicle. We have already received reports from drivers who have hit these and suffered costly damage. Please treat these ice piles as solid obstacles, slow down, and avoid driving through or over them.

PSA
We’re beginning to lose track of how many times we’re hearing “fracture” or “possible fracture” on local dispatch from people slipping on the ice. It’s tempting to get out and move around, but it is still extremely slick in many places. Please take your time, use extreme caution, and think twice before you step out. A slip that breaks a wrist or arm can be very painful and put you out of commission for weeks, so watch your step until all this ice melts! Powered by TriStar NorthCrest Medical Center
