The Door County Highway Department is keeping up with the recent string of snow events to help keep your commute around the area safe. Motorists were greeted again this morning with an inch or two of snow in Door County and about five inches of snow in Kewaunee as of 11 a.m. Friday. Kewaunee public and private schools shifted from a two-hour delay to a full closure by 7 a.m. With well more than 20 inches of snow falling across the area over the last two weeks, that has meant plenty of windshield time for snowplow drivers. Door County Highway Commissioner Thad Ash says thanks to de-icing brine they put down before storms and spray on their road treatment mixtures, the roads have been getting cleaner quicker and their salt supplies lasting longer.

Ash reminds motorists to be careful driving on wet and slushy roads as they can still be slick even after they are cleaned and treated by snowplow drivers. The Door County Highway Department will likely have to hit the roads again this weekend with more snow in the forecast for Saturday night into Monday morning according to the National Weather Service.
