Residents and visitors are advised to closely monitor weather forecasts and conditions during this period. The latest forecast calls for 1 to 3 inches of snow accumulation before the precipitation turns to rain on Wednesday evening.Travel conditions could be hazardous, roads slippery and visibility limited for both the morning and evening commutes. Please be advised that West Avenue is an emergency route and parking is prohibited on both sides of the street when the road is covered by snow.
