(KAIR)--More snow than expected arrived locally Sunday, but good news comes through a forecast that calls for a warm-up and a lack of the white stuff.
In Atchison, crews are always at the ready, knowing that the local winter can be unpredictable.
City Manager Trey Cocking says that was true Sunday when the snow began to accumulate. “When snow was forecast, city crews went out and they pretreated the viaducts and bridges and highways in anticipation of some additional snow. Once the snow started falling it felt a little heavier than we thought it would so we went to full deployment mode. Weather looks like its gong to be breaking toward the end of the week, so hopefully we can get rid of a lot of this ice and snow.”
That means crews will likely, this week, begin the task of removing the large piles of snow that currently stand throughout downtown Atchison, leftover from last week's storm that dumped significant snow across the local region.
The current forecast calls for no snow chances all the way through Sunday, with temperatures climbing into the lower 30's for Wednesday but climbing into the 40's for the weekend.
