Another round of snow is causing slick and hazardous road conditions across the area.
Caldwell County Sheriff Chris Noel reports they haven’t received any emergency calls Monday morning, but roads are slick and dangerous across the county. Unless you have an emergency, Sheriff Noel encourages residents to stay at home.
Princeton Public Works Director David Sullenger wants to remind residents in the city, if you are shoveling your driveway, make sure to leave 10 feet on either side to keep snow from piling in front of it when the road department plows. He says salt will work and aid in today’s snow removal efforts, but he asks residents to have patience as Public Works crews work their way around the city.
Sullenger also reminds motorists to keep a distance between their vehicle and snow plows when out on the city’s streets.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Brent White reports road conditions in Lyon County are once again hazardous and slippery due to this new round of snow. He also asks motorists to reserve any travel for emergency purposes only.
As of 6:00 Monday morning, Sheriff White said they did not have any accidents they were working at the time and they hoped this latest round of snow would stop around 8 a.m.
Lyon County Judge-Executive Jaime Green said the county’s road department was preparing to start plowing and salting the roads around 7 a.m. She indicated that one of the vehicles that went down over the weekend and two of the salt boxes that broke have been repaired. She also said if you don’t have to be out, please stay in.
A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until noon Monday from a line north of Cape Girardeau, Missouri to Princeton and Greenville, including the counties of Caldwell, Crittenden, and Lyon. The weather service in Paducah indicates total snow accumulations of up to two inches are possible.
