Area road crews started the process of pre-treating roads ahead of the predicted winter storm overnight tonight and into Wednesday.

The City of Manhattan said on X that they do have an overnight crew on call, but will not deploy them until we start to get accumulating snow.

They asked that residents keep vehicles off the streets as much as possible today and especially tomorrow, so plows can better move snow out of the way.
