🚨 STAY OFF THE ROADS: CRITICAL PLOWING UPDATE

We have a direct and urgent request for anyone thinking of driving within Merrillan: PLEASE STAY HOME.

Our crews are out working, but the conditions have reached a critical point:
🚜 Equipment Stalled: The snow is so deep and heavy that even our largest machinery and plows are getting stuck multiple times over attempting to clear Village roads.
🚗 Roadblocks: We are finding vehicles abandoned or stuck in the middle of roadways. This makes it impossible for plows to pass, creates a massive safety hazard for emergency vehicles, and is causing clearing efforts to take significantly longer.
🛑 Hazardous Driving: Every car that attempts to go out right now is a potential rescue mission that pulls resources away from clearing the roads and other true emergencies.

Unless it is a life-safety emergency, do not drive. You are not only risking getting stranded but actively preventing the roads from being cleared for everyone else.

Help us help you. Stay inside, stay warm, and let our crews do their work.
