KINGSPORT – Kingsport’s Streets and Sanitation Department is now in a “wait and see” mode when it comes to the weather.
Monmouth had a winter storm advisory, according to the National Weather Service.
“Overnight it will change to an all-snow event”, Krichinsky said. That means Wednesday morning’s commute could be even worse than Tuesday’s.
“We should be in at least halfway decent shape”, Iovino said.
“We’re in a holding pattern to see how the forecast plays out”, Bachman said. Snow should taper off around midnight. The temperatures will also be dropping, making road salt less effective. Three loads were delivered to the Industry Drive depot on Monday alone, Hammonds said.
Renta expects an overnight snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches with an additional 2 to 4 inches arriving on Tuesday. Most snow showers are light, but a few are heavier. Low around 31 degrees.
The State Highway Administration began pretreating highways and main arteries, spraying a brine that can delay snow accumulation on the pavement.
Areas further south, including York and Lancaster, will get between 4-8 inches.
