Snow Event # 5, Day 2 1600 Hrs Update…   The snow squall that went through the County did not produce significant additional accumulations.  However, winds during the past few hours have caused snow drifts mostly in the western part of the County.  Winds also are assisting with drying out the roadways.  We are holding a small crew in our Central and West zones to address any snow drift concerns during the evening rush hour and de‐mobilizing the remaining staff.

We are going back to normal operations ‐ all roadway related overnight/weekend calls will be directed from Central Communications to appropriate Highways personnel to respond.  This is the last update for this event.     Stay warm!!   Thanks, Kris
