With snow in the forecast, it’s time to start thinking of winter safety. When it comes to driving, that means: be prepared and slow down. The City of Ferndale Public Works Department, which is responsible for city street maintenance, prepares for snow and ice and monitors winter weather conditions around the clock. If there is a snow event this weekend, the city will follow standard procedure to keep our priority routes clear so emergency services can move throughout the city. Here’s how you can help:
🚫 Stay off the roads if you can.
⚠️ Go slow. If you must drive, give yourself plenty of space and take it slow. It will be slippery, especially as things freeze and refreeze overnight.
🚗 If you are parked on the street, please move your car so our snow plows (Golden Eagle, Plowtallica, SanderYacht, and Jam On) can safely navigate your street.
