Yada asks driver that if it’s at all possible to please remain off county roads so road crews can continue to remove snow and drifts to allow the roads to open.
He also asks for continued patience from all drivers and county residents while also thanking them for their understanding
Thanks road department, you couldn’t pay me enough to do your jobs this time of year. Thanks!!!
