Loretto Police Department

A winter storm has been forecast for this weekend with snow accumulation of 4-8 inches expected. With the freeze/thaw cycle some roads will remain treacherous into the beginning of next week.

It brings us no joy to issue the following Milk & Bread Alert:
M&B+E (Milk & Bread plus Eggs): This is our most severe category. This level is only used for ice storm/blizzard type events. Expect civilization as we know it to cease to exist under a blanket of ice. Roads closed. Extended power outages. Roving bands of White Walkers are to be expected.

M&B+E actions: This alert should be issued if all possible a few days prior to the event. Upon notification all milk and bread should be purchased in the tri-county area. Eggs should be acquired by any (legal) means necessary. You should expect all human decency to vanish on roadways and at the grocery store.

As a reminder, TDOT will do their best to keep the highways open, BUT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE OUT….STAY HOME. City streets and county roads will not be treated or plowed. Some power outages may occur but if this is a mainly snow event it shouldn’t be as bad as an ice storm. Expect significant delays in emergency response due to road conditions. Find a good source for local weather, we recommend Tennessee Valley Weather who are based in Lawrenceburg, and stay informed.
