Front Royal prepared for winter snow storm

Front Royal Public Works road crews are on standby and prepared to begin salting and treating Town streets based on the National Weather Services’ prediction of a winter storm that could bring more than 4 inches of snow and ice to the region beginning late tonight and continuing Monday morning. Bridges and primary roads will be treated first. Road crews will remain on the job until the storm passes.

Public Works is asking citizens to stay off the roads during the storm if possible. The forecast is for temperatures to rapidly drop as a strong burst of Arctic air with high winds move across the region. Road crews are better able to cover streets with less traffic. The Town is asking residents to use off-street parking tonight and tomorrow morning if available.

Any power outages after work hours should be reported to Front Royal Police at (540) 635-2111. If you have internet connectivity during working hours, please report outages at https://www.frontroyalva.com/FormCenter/Energy-Services-6/Report-Electric-Problem-46.

As always in an emergency call 911.

Front Royal will post updated information on the Town website (www.frontroyalva.com) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/frontroyalva) as necessary.
