In the post, published Wednesday on X (formerly Twitter), the department noted that while the snowfall made the mountain “very beautiful,” it also created hazardous driving conditions. Officers reminded motorists to slow down and drive for the conditions, warning that winter weather can make roads slippery and unpredictable.
Authorities continue to urge drivers to use caution, ensure vehicles are equipped with proper winter tires, and adjust their driving habits as snowfall increases across the North Shore mountains.
