Town of Round Lake – Winter Storm Notice

Residents of the Town of Round Lake should be aware that a significant winter storm is expected to impact the area beginning the evening of Saturday, March 14 and continuing through the early morning hours of Monday, March 16. Current forecasts indicate the potential for 12–25 inches of snowfall, with some reports suggesting even higher amounts may be possible.

Town road crews will be out working to keep Town roads open and as clear as possible throughout the storm. Please understand that with snowfall of this magnitude, road conditions may become poor and it may take time for crews to clear all roads as the storm progresses.

Residents are strongly encouraged to avoid unnecessary travel during the storm. If you must go out, please drive for the conditions, slow down, and allow extra time, as heavy snowfall, reduced visibility, and drifting snow may make travel difficult.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as our road crews work to maintain safe travel conditions.
