(MSC News)--Another day of frigid temperatures, as the dig out from winter storm Blair, which dumped snow, and brought blizzard conditions to the local area over the weekend, continues.

Temperatures today are expected to rise only to 15, while the windchill makes it feel as 10 below, with many local schools again closing their doors for the day.

Local and state crews continue the task of working to clear area roadways of what's been reported as more than one-foot of snow in the Atchison area, with all Kansas highways forced to close Sunday due to that snow, as well as the ice that moved in Saturday. On Monday, Kansas Department of Transportation reported that major state highways in northeast Kansas had reopened, including all interstate highways.

As those efforts of roadway cleanups continue, so do those of local homeowners from one part of the local region to another, with shovels and snowblowers active in clearing pathways, sidewalks, and driveways.

In the City of Atchison, Police were kept busy Saturday with the arrival of the ice, as Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson reports four weather related crashes in the city. However, none resulted in any injuries.

In Jackson County, Sheriff Tim Morse is reporting that his office responded to 13 slide-offs, 4 non-injury crashes, and 3 wrecks that resulted in injuries. They also provided 9 citizen assists as winter storm Blair bared down on Jackson County.

Morse makes note that even after the state officially closed highways Sunday, motorists still continued to attempt to travel in the hazardous conditions, resulting in numerous slide-offs; and, with tow trucks unable to run, Morse says those motorists found themselves stranded with no resources, turning to local motels for shelter.
