Low temperatures leave blanket of ice on hundreds of roads
SUMMARY: Lowndes County, Mississippi is experiencing a severe winter storm, with snow and ice covering hundreds of roads. Drivers are advised to stay off the roads as law enforcement warns of treacherous conditions. Low temperatures are causing the ice to persist, despite efforts by the county road manager to salt the roads and bridges. Drivers are urged to use caution and to download the MDOT Traffick app for updates on icy roadways. While many county roads have been treated, they may still be dangerous due to lower traffic. Overall, conditions are extremely dangerous, and caution should be exercised when driving.

SUMMARY: Lowndes County Road Department workers teamed up with Columbus Public Works crews to clean up debris after a wind event. 28 county workers used 11 dump trucks to remove more than 100 loads of debris in two days. They cleared areas for utility crews to restore services and facilitated the replacement of streetlights and other repairs. Despite political boundaries, everyone worked together to get the job done efficiently. The county saw some damage near the new Sportsplex, but the city experienced the hardest hit areas. Collaboration between different departments expedited the clean-up process and aided in overall recovery efforts.
