Junction City Public Works Director Ray Ibarra said early Tuesday evening local streets are snowpacked, and crews are having a difficult time keeping up with the snow.

The main arterials have been opened at times. “As soon as we get them opened up, oh probably about a half hour later they’d be closed up again, so we just continue to run that route trying to get those things open.

City crews are working 12-hour shifts.

Ibarra expects the rough weather to continue overnight until about 4 to 6 a.m. before it dies down.
