Storms

Storms are a fact of life in New Castle.  The Town will send out advisories on Nixle and CodeRed when a major storm is imminent.  The town may also declare a snow emergency if conditions warrant it.  

Make sure you sign up for Nixle and CodeRed if you want to get updates via email or text messaging on your phone.  Alerts will also be posted on the home page of this website.
