Due to the expected size of the predicted snow storm, as well as the amount of leaves still on the trees, Xcel Energy is taking additional measures to assure that any widespread or prolonged power outages that may occur are handled as quickly as possible. The company is bringing  crews from Grand Junction to assist, plus crews from Texas are prepared to help with outages too.  

The city is seeking volunteers to shovel snow for seniors or residents with physical disabilities.

Many of these residents need their sidewalks cleared because medical supplies are delivered to their residences or so they can safely leave their homes. Volunteers can shovel before or after work. Need is great, as residents are currently on the waiting list.
