Creek County and the whole state were hit by a winter storm over the past few days, bringing snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. Most areas saw around 6– 8 inches of snow, enough to make roads slick and tricky to navigate. While it caused some headaches, it’s not exactly the storm of the century, just enough to turn streets into a white wonderland as parents and kids get out the sleds for some time of fun.
Local road crews have been working to clear streets but as residual slush and ice remain on many roads. Residents being urged to drive slowly, keep a safe distance from snowplows, and avoid unnecessary travel while conditions improve.
Schools were closed Monday, and many businesses also shut their doors for safety, though some brave souls ventured out to stay open despite the cold and snow. Residents spent the day shoveling driveways, helping neighbors, and adjusting plans around the winter weather.
As cleanup continues, officials remind everyone to watch for icy patches and take care during the frigid conditions. For those staying inside, a warm drink and patience might be the best way to get through the rest of winter’s cold days.
