Rain and Snow in Fremont
The rain is back with cold overnight low temperatures into next week. Snow capped hills can be seen from various locations throughout the city. City staff is continuing to closely monitor the storms as they unfold—adjusting staffing levels, emergency response, and public messaging accordingly. The City Manager’s Office in coordination with the Fremont Police Department and Fremont Fire Department Public Information Officers will continue to provide our community with general information and safety messages throughout the winter storm season.
