LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) - Allen County road crews have been out on the road since the snow started to fly.
The county has 353 miles of roads to maintain, and it felt like a lot more the past 30-plus hours. Sunday saw 15 trucks out and crews working 12-hour shifts. There was never a point where no trucks were on the roads. County officials say they did dodge a bullet on major drifting because the wind died down but that won't be the case overnight Monday and into Tuesday.
"Because these temperatures are expected to stay for about a week, our biggest challenge in the next few days will be the wind," said Allen County Engineer Brion Rhodes. "The snow is very light, and so every time the wind changes directions or picks up, we're going to be battling all over."
With the artic temperatures it will be hard for the snow to form a crust that helps with drifting.
