Residents Urged to Prepare for Snow  

February 19, 2025, the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Worcester County, with snow accumulations of four to six inches expected from around noon today through 7 a.m. Thursday. 

The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and Worcester County Emergency Services (WCES) urge residents to remain indoors and stay off the roads once conditions deteriorate. 

The heaviest snow accumulations are expected to take place between 1 a.m. – 7 a.m. Thursday morning. Those who must venture out onto area roadways are warned to exercise extreme caution, as icy roadway conditions and periods of low visibility will make driving hazardous.

WCES cautions that hypothermia can occur quickly when exposed to low temperatures. Bundle up if headed outdoors. Wear layers of lightweight clothing that can be added to or removed as needed and protect extremities by wearing gloves and hats. Be sure to protect pets from the cold as well by bringing them indoors and providing them with access to unfrozen water.
