Yellow Level Warning for Freezing Rain in Effect for Feb. 18

The Town of Grimsby is advising residents to prepare for a mix of significant rainfall, melting snow, and the potential for freezing rain, which may lead to localized flooding and hazardous conditions.

Rapid snowmelt combined with rainfall can overwhelm drainage systems and cause water to pool on roads, sidewalks, and in low-lying areas. Residents are encouraged to stay clear of rushing or standing water, which can be deeper and faster-moving than it appears.

Please travel with caution. Roads may be slippery or water-covered – adjust your driving to conditions, allow extra travel time, and avoid unnecessary trips where possible.

If freezing rain develops, surfaces may quickly become icy. Use extra care when walking or driving, and remain alert for changing conditions.

Taking simple precautions and planning ahead can help keep you and your community safe. Please continue to monitor weather forecasts and Town updates as conditions evolve.
