City Offers Tips For Winter Weather Planning As Snow Begins To Fall

Press release from the City of Peoria:

The city of Peoria is experiencing the first significant snowfall for the season, although it is forecast to be a minor accumulation. The Public Works Operations Division is expecting to receive about a quarter of an inch of snow as it comes to an end this morning. The City’s Snow Fighters have a limited number of trucks on the streets today – treating hills, overpasses and streets surrounding the two major hospitals in the downtown area.

In addition, consider the following if travelling this morning:

1. Leave a little earlier to get to your destination.
2. Have patience and drive slowly.
3. Looks can be deceiving. There are some areas of pavement that are slicker than others.

And remember, all motorists need to recondition themselves into driving in snow once again. Stay safe and drive with caution.
