Winter Wonderland Necessitates City Service Changes

January 22, 2025

Tallahasseeans woke up to a snowy, icy winter wonderland, which has created hazardous roadway conditions. According to the National Weather Service, Tallahassee remains under a Winter Storm Warning. The temperature is forecast to barely rise above freezing today and dip down again overnight. This will thaw then refreeze much of the precipitation currently on the ground.

TPD urges residents to stay off the roads for their safety and the safety of emergency responders.

The City of Tallahassee’s emergency responders continue to respond to impacts from the winter weather and stand ready to respond as swiftly as safely possible to service issues as they arise.
