Montgomery County says more than 90% of roads plowed as ice slows cleanup.

Montgomery County officials report that, as of Wednesday afternoon, more than 90% of county roads have been plowed following last week’s winter storm, though snow and ice cleanup is expected to continue as prolonged freezing temperatures hinder progress. Hundreds of Miles of RoadwayConklin noted that, although there is 90% completion, the remaining small percentage represents hundreds of miles of roadway. Officials cautioned residents not to expect clear pavement, as temperatures below freezing are preventing melting and keeping snow and ice visible, even after plowing. County officials acknowledge inaccuracies in the county’s online snow clearance tracker, which previously showed some streets as fully plowed despite resident reports that have pointed out the contrary.
