LIGHT WIND, COLD TEMPS EASE ROAD-CLEARING EFFORTS
(Wayne County, IN)--Roughly a foot of snow fell across the Whitewater Valley over the weekend. Roads Monday morning, though, were not as bad as you might expect. Here’s a 5 a.m. update from Mike Sharp with the Wayne County Highway Department Monday morning. "So far, the wind is not horrible. We're gonna try to get things pushed back. I know some of the intersections are some of the worst areas." Sharp said that a couple of factors made clearing roads much more simple. One factor was the lack of wind. And, there’s this: "Luckily, it was colder, which helped with the pushing of it. It wasn't as hard to push. I think it was easier for people to drive through because it was a lighter snow." Sharp said that road conditions could go downhill Tuesday with strong winds in the forecast that could create significant drifting.
