Castle Rock Colorado to get a White Christmas with 10 inches of snow predicted

White christmas in Castle Rock ColoradoSnowstorm coming to Castle Rock in time for the holidays

No more dreaming of a white Christmas in Castle Rock – one looks to be a reality, with as much as 10 inches of snow expected here between late tonight and early Thursday.

The Town’s snow removal crews are planning to take to the streets about 2 a.m. Wednesday to begin battling back against the storm. The heaviest snowfall is expected between 6 a.m. and noon Wednesday, which could mean a tricky morning commute.

Small plow operators are expected to join the snow-removal effort tomorrow afternoon, when crews first expect to head onto residential streets. The work will continue around the clock until the storm stops and streets are passable, probably sometime Christmas Eve.

Town offices are expected to remain open Wednesday and Thursday, and Police and Fire personnel are ready to respond to any storm-related incidents.

The Town’s online snowplow tracking system, accessible at CRgov.com/plowtracker, will be updated once snow-removal operations begin. In addition, the Town will post updates as needed on its Web site, CRgov.com, and on its Facebook page (facebook.com/crgov) and Twitter feed (@crgov).

Stay safe, and enjoy the snow.
