             ROAD CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVING AROUND THE LISTENING AREA AFTER RESIDENTS WOKE UP TO A BLANKET OF ABOUT SIX INCHES OF SNOW ON THE GROUND THIS (SATURDAY) MORNING AFTER A MAJOR WINTER SNOW STORM HIT FULL FORCE JUST BEFORE NIGHTFALL LAST (FRIDAY) NIGHT.

            TRIGG COUNTY DISPATCH AND THE HOPKINSVILLE-CHRISTIAN COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER ARE REPORTING NO MAJOR PROBLEMS TODAY, OTHER THAN SLICK AND HAZARDOUS ROADS, ESPECIALLY ON SECONDARY ROADS.

AS FAR AS WRECKS, TRIGG DISPATCH TOLD THE NEWS EDGE THERE WERE THREE WRECKS REPORTED IN THE COUNTY OVERNIGHT….TWO BEFORE MIDNIGHT AND ONE ON INTERSTATE 24 THIS (SATURDAY) MORNING, WHILE E.C.C. IS REPORTING NO BAD WRECKS HAVE OCCURRED SINCE ELEVEN O’CLOCK LAST (FRIDAY) NIGHT, BUT THERE WERE A FEW VEHICLES THAT SLID OFF INTO DITCHES EARLIER IN THE NIGHT.

            WITH 5.6 INCHES OF SNOWFALL RECORDED, TRIGG COUNTY JUDGE EXECUTIVE STAN HUMPHRIES SAYS ROADS ARE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD.
