RILEY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) - Public Works crews across northeast Kansas are preparing for the first major winter storm of the season heading into the new year.
Crews with Riley County Public Works are loading trucks with salt and attaching snowplows to the trucks ahead of the winter storm.
Roads with high traffic volume will be treated and plowed first before crews move to secondary roadways.
Starting as early as 4:00 in the morning, crews will begin removing snow, and applying a layer of salt to help melt the snow, hoping to make the roadways safer for traveling.
