Snow emergency levels

Ohio side roads remained dangerous today as emergency teams trying to deal with the snow emergency levels concentrated on the main roads.

An enourmous snow storm ravaged the USA Saturday, and a number of different cities were in a state of emergency, desperately trying to cope with the situation.

The official figures on snowfall have yet to be annonunced, but unofficial totals have it near 30 inches.

Large areas of the US were warned about travelling in their cars on Wednesday, with a variety of messages ranging from ‘take care’ to ‘don’t travel’.

Salt supplies across the country are holding steady, however, and new orders are being processed ahead of schedule.

Many smaller towns are feeling the bite as emergency services work constantly to clear snow and to help people trapped or endangered by the freak weather conditions. Many people are worried that the storms may get worse, but do not know how to predict what will come next.

“We are laying down some brine on the streets before the storm arrives,” Toby Shamblin, superintendent of the Lancaster Department of Transportation said. “Then it is up to Mother Nature. It looks like at some point we may have to stop putting down salt and go to plowing only, at least until the storm clears the area.”
