He also urged people to stay at home and avoid travel but added that if driving is unavoidable, to “remember the three Cs.”
“My three Cs are caution, courtesy and common sense,” he said. “ The roads are still narrow. Snow is still piled high. Two vehicles trying to pass can be unsafe. People need to be safe. We don’t want to see anyone hurt or stranded.”
