Snow & Ice

Because we in Anderson County are not faced with ice and snow on a regular basis, often many individuals find themselves ill prepared when faced with winter hazards.

In our area, ice storms are more common than snow falls, and ice storms can cause down trees and power lines. Both snow and ice can cause major difficulties on roads and highways. Bridges are more likely to freeze before roadways, which can cause a serious driving hazard.

Winter weather watches and warnings from the national weather service should be taken seriously. These watches, warnings, and advisories are also posted on the front page of the Emergency SERvices Website.

It is essential that every family obtain a weather radio (preferabley battery operated) to keep informed during times of serious weather.
