County prepares for winter storm

With the winter storm warning in effect, the County’s Public Works Director Dale Van Volkingburgh says crews are working to open the existing roads that have been drifted in due to the strong winds.

“We have cats out there working so that we can get the (snow) banks far enough so that the next snowfall and the next wind, hopefully, there is room for it because obviously, we can’t be on every road on every day so we are trying to buy time by pushing the (snow) banks back further at this point.”

He says at one point crews were running out of room to put the snow.

Van Volkingburgh adds crews will be out as soon as the snow starts to fall.
