Caution
Urged, Drifting Snow is an Unexpected Danger
Franklin
County, Ohio
--- Dean C. Ringle, P.E., P.S., Franklin County Engineer, warns that
drifting snow on some of the county’s outlying roadways is a hazard that
requires a driver’s utmost caution.
“Unsuspecting
motorists travelling at the higher speeds of our more rural roads are often
surprised by snow that has blown across clear pavement,” said Dean Ringle. “Drivers
should slow down while in the rural parts of the county during high winds and
maneuver with caution through these dangerous drifts.”
Franklin
County
“Snow Fighter” personnel will be particularly vigilant of drifting snow
over the next 72 hours as steady wind passes through Central Ohio.
Motorists
can report drifting snow on Franklin
County
roads by calling the engineer’s 24-hour telephone number: (614) 462-3072
