City of Fayetteville, NC Government City Prepares for Possible Winter Weather (Fayetteville, N.C.) – With a potential freezing rain event on the way, City staff prepared Tuesday for possible impacts to service, holding a preparatory meeting with assigned personnel. A winter weather advisory will be in effect from tonight through tomorrow morning and all appropriate staff has the tools and resources needed to address hazardous weather conditions, although no major severe weather is expected. However, the City would still advise citizens to use caution, especially when driving. Streets crews are coming in at 9 p.m. tonight and are on standby; N.C. DOT staff is doing the same. City Streets crews will have four trucks loaded with salt and sand to proactively treat known areas and to be on-call to react to areas that need to be treated. The Fayetteville Area System of Transit (FAST) is monitoring areas buses might need to detour around. Bulky item crews are prepared for tomorrow and trucks will be available for broken limb collection. The Police and Fire departments are ready, as always. Fayetteville PWC is monitoring the weather; normally unless there is a half-inch of ice on power lines, the ice won’t bother power. Staff is watching trees and limbs that may fall on power lines. Fayetteville PWC staff is also prepared to provide extra coverage in the Call Center if necessary.
