There is a chance of light snow in the Geary County region on Wednesday.

Geary County Public Works will be prepared.

Public Works Dennis Cox said they spend a great deal of time getting ready ahead of the winter season. “That’s as big part of it. We’ve got a group of guys that have been doing it for a long time. So the routes that we run are pretty well defined.” They will monitor the weather to determine when to begin 12-hour work shifts until roads are died out and any snow is removed.

Cox reported that the County typically is stocked with about 500 tons of salt on the ground. They use a 50-50 blend on the salt-sand that is applied on county roads for traction, and to dry out ice and snow.
