It’s cold, y’all. That wind makes it feel even colder, and conditions are expected to worsen as winter weather moves into the area.
Town of Zebulon crews have been preparing roads and monitoring conditions to help ensure emergency responders can reach anyone who needs assistance once the storm arrives.
Please finish any final preparations and limit travel as conditions worsen. Staying off the roads helps keep you and our first responders safe.
We will continue to share updates as conditions change.
Check the Town’s website and official social media channels for the latest weather-related updates and any closures.
If there is an emergency, dial 911. If your power goes out, please report it directly to your electric provider.
