The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning for the Fargo-Moorhead Metro effective until Thursday, April 6 at 7 a.m. The blizzard conditions have the potential to make travel conditions difficult with reduced visibility. Fargo Public Works crews will be focusing on snow plowing operations throughout the duration of the storm and will continue efforts after the storm has passed.
Fargo Public Works is stressing the importance of moving all vehicles off city streets during the storm until plowing has been completed. This will ensure efficient and effective snow removal operations in Fargo. A substantially reduced number of vehicles on the streets will allow snow removal personnel the opportunity to remove the snow as close to the curb as possible, eliminating the need to return to widen or remove ridges encircling parked vehicles. This will also allow safe passage for emergency vehicles responding to incidents.
Crews will focus their efforts on snow emergency routes through the duration of the storm. Following the end of the storm, crews will begin clearing residential areas once emergency snow routes are complete. The City appreciates residents’ patience as it works to clean these roads.
The City of Fargo will continue to monitor weather and street conditions and will notify citizens of travel advisories and/or street closures throughout the storm if the need arises.
