Canon-McMillan Area Braces for Winter Storm

The Canon-McMillan area is under a winter weather warning, with the National Weather Service calling for up to 8 inches of snow into early Wednesday. But local municipal officials say they are ready for the white stuff.

"We are prepared," Canonsburg Manager Terry Hazlett said Tuesday afternoon.

He said that public works employees are on call for tonight's storm (with several backups confirmed, if needed), and that there is plenty of salt available to the combat the inclement weather.

Cecil Township Manager Don Gennuso echoed those statements.

He said with about 6 inches expected, the public works department is primed and ready to combat the snow.

"We had a heads up on this storm Monday. Our trucks are ready and the plows are on," he said.

North Strabane Manager Frank Siffrinn was not immediately available for comment Tuesday afternoon.
