Roads In Area To Be Open
A county roads spokesman said tonight that area roads should be opened sufficiently for residents to travel with life inconvenience. Snow pushing remains as crews push back drifts while forecasters predict a mix of snow sleet and freezing rain. Two accidents in the county included a collision between a milk truck and a county snow blower on Opossumtown Pike. A hit and run near U.S. 15 north of Frederick prompted a roadblock but the driver escaped. A Pennsylvania railroad freight train stranded in a 12 foot drift between Woodsboro and Walkersville was freed by a Jordan Spreader from York. Most state roads are clear though narrow sections remain. Crews continue around-the-clock work, with community neighbors helping on tractors in Walkersville.
