Roads in Floyd County are snow covered this morning according to Floyd County Public Safety.

Officials in Floyd County say that it is going to take some time and effort to clear the roads so they are asking that you allow the emergency personnel the opportunity to continue their work undisturbed by increased traffic volume on the roadways.

Floyd County Public Safety says:

“The temperature will rise above freezing by mid- morning which will aid in their efforts of snow and ice removal.

They will be hard pressed to clear off the roadways before dark as the temperature will drop below freezing again causing the roads to re-freeze with patches of black ice developing to cause additional traffic difficulties for commuters on Friday.

If you have to be on the roadways, please exercise caution when driving under slick, icy road conditions and be aware of the emergency equipment operating on the roadways.”
