The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for parts of Summit County until Monday, Nov. 4 at 11 a.m. In an advisory, the National Weather Service states that the warning pertains to areas in Summit County above 9,000 feet, including Breckenridge.

The advisory states that regions within the winter storm warning range, including the mountains of Summit County, Rocky Mountain National Park and the Medicine Bow Range, the Mosquito Range and the Indian Peaks, can expect snow accumulation between 6-14 inches. Areas in Summit County below 9,000 feet should expect 3-8 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

In a Facebook post, Summit Fire & EMS offered these winter weather tips from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Management:

• Expect snow-covered roads with blowing snow creating whiteout conditions. Stay off the roads if possible.
• If trapped in your car, stay inside.
• The latest road conditions can be obtained by calling 511.
• Keep utility connections outside of your home clear of snow and protected from falling snow.
• Install and test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors with battery backups.
• Gather supplies in case you need to stay home for several days without power.
• Keep in mind each person’s specific needs, including medication. Remember the needs of your pets. Have extra batteries for radios and flashlights.
• Be prepared for winter weather at home, at work and in your car. Create an emergency supply kit for your car. Include jumper cables, sand, a flashlight, warm clothes, blankets, bottled water and non-perishable snacks. Keep a full tank of gas.
• Stay away from downed power lines. Always assume an electric line, even one that is on or near the ground, is energized and therefore dangerous. Never, under any circumstance, touch or move a downed power line. If you come across a downed power line, leave the area and report it immediately by calling 1-800-895-1999.
• Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Only use generators and grills outdoors and away from windows. Never heat your home with a gas stovetop or oven.
