While the impact of Winter Storm Fern was not insignificant in Davidson, we appear to have been spared the worst of the storm's effects.

Prior preparation helped mitigate some of the impact of the effects we did receive. In advance of the storm, the Public Works staff treated the majority of roads throughout town.

The Town also opened the Emergency Operations Center as of 6:00 a.m. Saturday. Residents were asked to contact the EOC for all non-emergency concerns. The EOC closed at 12:00 p.m. Monday. During the time the center was open, Town Staff received four calls "related to shelter locations and road conditions." The EOC did not receive any any calls for services such as trees in roads.

By Monday morning, the Public Works team was back at it. This time with snow plows on the front end of their vehicles.

From the Town:
