To all residents of Greenwood and the surrounding area:

• Before you venture out this winter, check your vehicle now and ensure it’s ready for the season.

• On local roads and highways, allow extra travel time and reduce your speed when conditions are poor.

• Be especially attentive when snow-clearing trucks are at work — give them space and allow them to do their job safely.

• Stay informed about local weather and road condition updates, and adjust plans accordingly.

Let’s work together to keep our community safe this winter — preparation and patience go a long way.
