The City of St. Louis is preparing for a cold snap and snowfall by keeping Code Blue protocols in place through December 2 and maintaining emergency shelter beds from evening through morning. Snow operations are also active, with the Street Department pretreating and plowing roads as needed, according to the City of St. Louis.
Shelter options include the Peter & Paul Jugan Shelter for single adults and families and the Biddle Housing Opportunities Center for single men, with anyone needing help after 9 p.m. advised to call 211. City officials said everyone seeking shelter on Wednesday was accommodated, and they will continue monitoring demand to add beds if necessary, as reported by the City of St. Louis.
As temperatures are projected to stay below freezing throughout the day, facilities are moving to 24-hour operations, and warming centers will stay open under Code Blue protocols. Transportation to shelters is available from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Urban League Women’s Business Center, Centenary United Methodist Church, and near the Carondelet Park Tennis and Pickleball Courts. The Street Department has started its winter operations, expecting snowfall of less than 1 inch per hour but prepared for heavier conditions. Crews will focus first on main routes, school entrances, and intersections before moving to side streets. The City of St. Louis and its partners will continue monitoring weather conditions and providing updates on shelter services and street clearing.
