Unless it snows every day for the next month and a half, you will not have to worry about the Door County Highway Department running out of salt. Crews hit the roads after 1 a.m. Tuesday morning to begin removing the snow that was resting on a little bit of ice after freezing rain hit the area at the onset of the winter storm. Highway Commissioner Thad Ash says that actually helped their efforts to get the roads safe to drive on ahead of the second band of the winter storm.

The salt supply is good according to Ash and the county has another vendor it can turn to if it does run low late in the season. Schools across northeast Wisconsin including those in Door and Kewaunee counties closed their doors on Tuesday as a result, forcing the postponement of many of the opening round games of the WIAA Girls’ Basketball Tournament.
