Working through the day

City, District and School employees have been working throughout the day to open streets, sidewalks, entrances and parking lots. There continues to be piles of snow.

The street around Southwest are considerably narrower due to the snow piles. Be very careful. Intersections, hills and corners are going to continue to be slick. Black ice will be a problem with these cold temperatures.

Parking will be a nightmare. If you do not have to drive the next three days, please find some other transportation. Get dropped off, car pool, park blocks away, or walk. The number of parking spaces throughout the neighborhood is significantly reduced. There won't be room for the usual number of cars during school. If you park illegally, you will probably have a ticket and or a towing bill.

Be careful on sidewalks. Even with all the plowing the sidewalks and streets will be slippery. Each time the street is plowed, school entrances will get more snow. They are open at the moment but by morning may have some surface snow. Be careful walking from your car, the bus or your home.

Even with all the hard work and efforts of many people, there is a lot of snow and very cold temperatures. Be careful. Be safe.
