Everyone please stay safe today as the hazardous winter weather comes in.
If you don’t have to get out, please don’t.
This is going to be a very dangerous event.
Our roads crews will be out all through out this as I know city and state crews will as well.
If you see them, please be mindful of the work they are doing and yield to them. They are working for you to make travels safer.
Our county is a large county with many miles so we ask to please be patient and our crews will get to you as quick as they can.
Thank you and please stay safe.
