Allen County and the Ohio Department of Transportation snow trucks have been out clearing roads since early Tuesday morning. Drivers themselves have a lot to mentally and physically prepare for when it comes to battling large amounts of snowfall. Derick Smith, a Highway Technician for the Ohio Department of Transportation District 1, says that drivers need to be careful and alert on roadways.

For the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Allen County Engineer's Office, it's just another workday in the winter. Both agencies have been hard at work to prepare for the heavy snowfall, and are also ready to be out on the roads for the long haul. Workers with the Allen County ODOT garage will be pulling 12-hour shifts. Not too far away, plows at the Allen County Engineer's Office were being stocked with plenty of salt and fuel to get ready for their shifts. One thing that might keep them out longer than they expect is the possible gusts that might drift up snow to well over a foot.
