Welcome Warmup Creates Conditions for Hazards
From CarbonAlert website posted just before 11:00 a.m. February 21
Looks like temperatures are going to start warming up over the weekend and into next week causing snow to melt. With the frozen ground this could cause ponding of water, overland flooding, and of course possible ice buildup and jams in streams and creeks. Please take the necessary precautions to keep your ditches and culverts as clear as you can.
The county will continue to monitor the roads and rivers. Please follow the National Weather Service in Billings and Carbon Alert Facebook pages for updates. Call the Carbon County Sheriff's Office non-emergency number, 406-446-1234, to report water over the road or ice jams.
Dial 911 for an emergency.
Cyrina Allen of Carbon County DES (Disaster and Emergency Services) adds that CarbonAlert’s Facebook page is also sharing information that their National Weather Service partners put out.
