County will remain under a Travel Watch (Orange) overnight. County Highway and City Street departments will maintain major routes overnight and attack side routes and streets as time allows.
We have seen several slide offs and some accidents in the county from all roadways, but I think communications and the holiday have assisted in keeping injuries at a minimum.
