HCA ROAD STORM SERVICE UPDATE

From our snow removal contractor Perfect Landscapes Account Manager earlier today: " ... closely watching a winter storm that is currently affecting areas well south of us. The forecast for our area is for occasional flurries and snow showers beginning tomorrow morning and ending in the mid afternoon with little to no accumulating snows.  The impact of this storm for us seems minimal at this point.  As a result it appears that snow and ice management operations will not be necessary tomorrow.  I will continue to monitor the situation throughout the day today ... ."  The NOAA National Weather Service forecast for tonight and tomorrow as of 12:27 p.m. today:  "Tonight: A chance of snow after 3:00 a.m.  Mostly cloudy, with a low around 19F.  North wind 8 to 11 m.p.h.  Chance of precipitation is 50%.   Saturday: Snow likely, mainly between 7:00 a.m. and noon.  Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 27F.
