Mill Creek Prepares for Possibility of Snow

Mill Creek is preparing for the possibility of snow and freezing temperatures, as forecasted weather conditions could impact the area over the weekend and into early next week. The city's Public Works department is actively monitoring the situation and has begun pretreating key roadways with deicer to prevent dangerous conditions caused by ice and snow. Priority routes receiving treatment include State Route 527, Mill Creek Boulevard, and Village Green Drive, ensuring that the most traveled paths remain safe for residents. The forecast indicates the potential for freezing fog on Saturday, with rain possibly turning to snow on Sunday and Monday, which could diminish the effectiveness of the pretreatment. Residents are strongly encouraged to limit travel during inclement weather and to drive cautiously if they must be on the road.

In the event of snow accumulation, the Public Works team is prepared to mobilize quickly to clear roadways and improve traction using sand and deicing materials. This proactive approach aims to maintain safety for the community as winter weather approaches. By staying informed and prepared, residents can help ensure their safety and the safety of others during this challenging weather period.
