The Door County Highway Department has plenty of sand and salt to go around this winter. Snow began in Door and Kewaunee Counties late Monday with the National Weather Service predicting between three to six inches falling before the morning commute wraps up on Tuesday. Door County Highway Commissioner John Kolodziej says cost and temperatures are factors when it comes to their snow removal strategies.

While other snow removal materials like beet juice and cheese brine are being experimented with in other municipalities, Kolodziej says the cost is why they have not been used in Door County.
