Plows prepared for more snow Saturday

After a quiet January, you have encountered more snowplow drivers on your daily commute with another storm aiming for the area on Saturday. The National Weather Service has already issued a winter storm warning for several counties, including Kewaunee, Brown, and Manitowoc counties, from 6 a.m. on Saturday until midnight when five to eight inches of snow is predicted to fall. As of Thursday, Door County is on the outside looking in at the warning, but the National Weather Service says the storm system could always shift north or south, potentially putting the peninsula in its crosshairs. Kewaunee County Highway Commissioner Marty Treml says supplies are good and the plows are ready to go.

 

Treml says the department has also been trying to modernize its fleet of trucks that handle the snow removal, withone of the new vehicles already on the road. After receiving approximately two to three inches of snow for the entire month of January, parts of Door and Kewaunee counties have already seen more than six inches of snow less than a week into February.
