City staff are making the necessary preparations for the upcoming winter storm.
The current forecast for Jersey Village predicts approximately 2 inches of snow, with temperatures remaining below freezing. This increases the likelihood of snow melting on roadways, then refreezing, potentially creating hazardous driving conditions. On Monday a pre-treatment will be applied to bridges in the city.
The City has reached out to TXDOT to find more information when bridges on US290 and Beltway 8 may be treated. Historically we have seen severe icing on these bridges with many bad accidents. Extra caution is advised if you must travel during this event.
The National Weather Service (NWS) advises that residents may need to plan to stay where they are from Monday evening through Wednesday due to these dangerous conditions.
