Significant snow is on the way for the weekend. State, county and city officials are gearing up for the winter storm. Sophia Fields checks out the preparations being made.
With more snow on the way, the City of Lima is asking for residents' help to make the plowing process more productive. Crews are still out trying to clean up the remaining snow on the city streets. But that becomes difficult when vehicles are not being moved. If you have a driveway, please park there, and if not, try and move to a space that has already been cleared.
November 20, 2024, Press Release from the Ohio Department of Transportation: COLUMBUS – With snow in the forecast for Thursday, Ohio Department of Transportation crews are making sure trucks, drivers, and equipment are ready to safely roll across the state. A warmer start to the week means pavement temperatures in Ohio remain high enough to melt most of the snow on contact. However, drivers should be extra alert on bridges and overpasses as conditions there will change more rapidly as temperatures fall. Crews will be out monitoring and treating roadways, as needed. ODOT has more than 810,000 tons of salt under roof and more than 4.5 million gallons of liquid deicer ready to go.
For those who wanted a White Christmas, it looks like you got your wish. But if you're heading out, worry not - the roads in Lima are being taken care of.
The dramatic difference in cold weather from this year to last year is a relief for residents and city officials.
