Dear Neighbor,

As you’ve likely heard, a significant winter storm is possible this weekend, beginning Sunday and continuing into Monday. While forecasts vary on the exact snowfall totals, it’s clear that our area will see some snow and very cold temperatures.

The graphic below from the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency offers a few ways to prepare for possible storm-related problems, like power and heat outages. Preparing ahead of time keeps your family the safest when significant weather hits.

Bucks County offers warming centers for people in need of shelter during extreme cold. You can find a list of warming centers on the Bucks County Housing Link website.

In Service,

Brian
