Please do not venture out on Guemes Island roads today unless absolutely necessary. Our roads are heavily impacted by several inches of accumulated snow over an icy base. High winds are creating snow drifts and occasional near white-out conditions. |

Overnight snow on frozen road surfaces has created incredibly hazardous road conditions on the island. We strongly recommend that residents stay off the roads if at all possible. Based on the most recent National Weather Service forecast, we can expect road conditions to remain hazardous through Thursday with the possibility of heavy snow showers Wednesday. |
