Friday Update: Still cold. Still snowy. Still dreaming about hot cocoa. Still happy to be here.
Road conditions are improving, but don't be surprised to find roadways with snow cover or some slick spots. The message is the same: Be prepared before you venture out on the roads, give yourself time and drive with caution. You're doing great. It's been a tough week for travel, but we sincerely appreciate that people have (mostly) heeded warnings. Also a shoutout to our local road crews for their tireless efforts throughout these systems of snow storms.
Be safe, everybody.

Another bout of snow is making driving conditions difficult in the county. Best to avoid travel if you can.Photos from Harvey County Sheriff's Office's post
Mother Nature is back at it. As a second round of snow blows through, our deputies are out responding to vehicle accidents. This is from one at U.S. Highway 50 and Golden Prairie Road. Roadways are snowy and extremely slick right now. If you must be on the road tonight, drive carefully and allow yourself plenty of time to get where you’re going safely.Photos from Harvey County Sheriff's Office's post
