Rock County Sheriff's Office issues winter driving alert

By TED SULLIVAN Saturday, December 6, 2008 - 1:45 p.m.

JANESVILLE -- Drivers should travel slowly Saturday due to gusty winds, snow drifts and slippery, snow-covered roads.

Many roads have 2-foot-high snow drifts, according to a Rock County Sheriff's Office news release.

Winds are expected to remain gusty throughout the day, and drifting is expected to continue.

Motorists can expect delays in response times for emergency vehicles and tow trucks due to weather conditions.

At this point last year we had 35.0" of recorded snowfall, this year we are just above 17" at this point.

Though the snow was fairly light last night, the wind created near blizzard conditions at times.

Wow! I had no idea it was nasty out there today. Does anyone know how much snow the area received overnight? Also, how does our total thus far this season compare to this point last year?
