Big Freeze: With several of inches of snowfall from Sunday night through Tuesday morning, local road crews have been working around the clock to try and clear roadways to make them as safe as possible for travel. According to Whitley County Judge-Executive Pat White, Jr., the road department has been “terribly busy,” and despite their best efforts, many of the county’s roadways remain covered. “A lot of areas where people have driven on them, it makes it so much harder for a scraper blade or salt to break the snow and ice up and get it back to blacktop.” White said Tuesday night’s extremely cold temperatures will likely create dangerous commutes for those who have to travel Wednesday morning, though he expects conditions to improve by evening.
