COUNTY EXECUTIVE POLLITT URGES CAUTION ON COUNTY ROADS DURING AND AFTER SNOW AND ICE EVENT

Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt urged all motorists to exercise extreme caution while driving today and tomorrow. “The National Weather Service’s latest prediction for our area calls for a ‘wintry’ mix of sleet, snow and freezing rain starting Tuesday afternoon changing back to all snow at about 7:00 P.M. and continuing until about sunrise on Wednesday,” said Pollitt. “Because the Weather Service has stressed that, ‘due to sleet/freezing conditions, untreated/unused roadways will ice over very quickly causing hazardous driving conditions,’ I strongly urge all motorists to take their time and be extremely careful when driving.”
