Snow Brings Accidents and Closings

0

The season’s first snow has descended on Kentuckiana, bringing with it plenty of accidents and school closings. 

Schools began calling off classes this morning by 5a. 

Salem, East Washington and West Washington were all called off today along with most other schools in the WSLM Listening Area — Lawrence, Jackson, Scott, Madison, Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Crawford, Orange. 

“The line of snow ended with the northern counties of Lawrence, Washington and Scott,” said Becky White, WSLM General Manager and Owner. “I’ve been monitoring this for a couple of days so we could stay on top of the weather changes. The National Weather Service in Louisville is calling for a worse case scenario of 5 inches. I think we’ll get a couple of more inches.”

The official reading this morning at 6a at WSLM was 2 inches. 

According to Washington County Deputy Sheriff Brent Miller they department has been working accidents since early this morning.

“Since 4:45 am we have had 10 total accidents, 5 requiring reports, 2 with slight injuries, county roads are snow covered and slick, please travel with caution. We are currently working several accidents,” he noted in a Facebook message. 

Washington County Sheriff Roger Newlon spoke on WSLM this morning. “Take your time. Allow time — Leave early and take your time. The roads are passable but you need to use caution.”

When asked for tips on staying in your vehicle after an accident, Newlon responded: “Hopefully they have a phone to call 911. It takes time to get to you this morning. We have all of our 4x4s out…we are working three accidents at the same time. It may take time, but we’ll get to you.” 

Newlon said the county highway has done a great job. “I will give them a pat on the back. They’ve been out since early this morning putting salt and sand on the county roads. I know they haven’t hit them all but they’re still out in full force.”

Newlon said if you are in an accident in the snow, please stay in your vehicle.

“If all possible….stay in the car. Carry a blanket in the vehicle. use your cell phone. If you’re not in the middle of the road, stay inside,” he said.

Snow Fighters Prepared for Winter Weather

Two to Three Inches of Snow Forecast for Southwest Indiana

With winter weather in the forecast, Indiana Department of Transportation Snow Fighters are mobilizing to keep the roads safe.

The National Weather Service is forecasting three to four inches of snowfall with two to three inches of accumulation in southwestern Indiana beginning in the early morning hours on Thursday, January 5.

The system is expected to start in the eastern part of the state, and move west bringing light snowfall early on and later the potential for snow squalls – or areas of blowing snow that can reduce visibility and create hazardous conditions.

Dont Crowd The plow

Snow Fighters have been monitoring conditions since Tuesday night, with patrols out looking for slick spots as temperatures dropped below freezing.

They are also working today (Wednesday, Jan. 4) to pre-treat roads and bridges with salt brine. When snow begins to fall, our Snow Fighters will mobilize and begin snow removal operations in 12-16 hour shifts until the system has passed and the roads are clear.

Motorists are reminded to prepare for hazardous driving conditions during the event. INDOT offers these tips for the motoring public:

  • Reduce your speed, especially on four-lane and Interstate routes.
  • Allow yourself extra time to reach your destination.
  • Don’t crowd the plow. Remember, our plows (#YellowTrucks on social media) have a large blind spot and the driver may not see you if you are too close or riding alongside them.
  • It’s always safer behind a plow, but if you must pass, do it as quickly as conditions allow.
  • Know before you go. Visit INDOT.carsprogram.org to check the latest road conditions.

There are a number of reasons for this: the driver may be headed to the starting place for their specific route, they may on their way to refuel, or they could be treating roads with brine or salt.

Also remember, our Snow Fighters have designated routes and it takes two to three hours to complete a cycle. You may also see Yellow Trucks with their blades not engaged.

Motorists should also note that as temperatures drop below 20 degrees, salt alone becomes less effective.

To combat that, INDOT uses beet juice in combination with salt and brine in low temperature situations. More helpful tips are available at winter.indot.in.gov.

INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert during winter weather events.
