Well, I'll tell you what. It's been near about 9 months since our historic ice storm, and this Up North midwifery team is in full baby boom mode. If we have similar conditions this weekend, please book early for September 😂
As of now (Wednesday evening, 12/17) temperatures are expected to be in the 40s with rain Thursday afternoon and evening before dropping below freezing with high winds early morning and throughout the day Friday. It may be a good idea to make whatever preparations you need now and stay off the roads if possible when the weather changes. Roads would be expected to be slick with conditions possibly similiar to early April of 2025 🫣. So now would be a good time to fuel your vehicles and generators, charge cell phones and external batteries or other devices, make sure to have non-perishable food on hand, and make other neccessary preperations. If you experience a power outage call your power company to report it and follow automated menu prompts. Please be patient with utility and public works / road workers. If reporting a power line down please do not approach and advise us if anything is on fire or if the line is arcing or sparking. As in the past, if we become inundated with down power line calls you may expierience delays in calltaking or service.
