As a snow and ice storm swept through the region Sunday and Monday, plows became familiar sights on roads across the county. Snow accumulations varied widely, with some areas seeing several inches, while others experienced lighter coverage.
The situation shifted Monday as freezing rain moved in, creating icy conditions before temperatures climbed slightly, melting much of the snow in some areas.
State officials urged residents to use caution on untreated roads and sidewalks, as patches of ice lingered despite efforts to clear major thoroughfares. Crews remained active through Monday evening, working to address icy spots, ensure safe travel and the aftermath of expected gusty winds.
Meteorologists predict temperatures will remain near freezing for the next few days, with the potential for additional winter weather later in the week.Â
