RENO COUNTY, Kan. — The Reno County Sheriff's Office updated the public as of 4 p.m. Thursday that most roads in the county are clear with some slick spots. Highways are mostly clear but there may still be slick spots on bridges and overpasses.
Reno County Public Works Director Don Brittain notes, "Until the road or air temperatures get above 15 degrees, salt will have little effect in melting ice."
At the current temperatures, any melting will probably refreeze.
"Most county roads appear to be in very good shape, but that is very deceiving due to the black ice in some areas," Brittain said. "If you have to be out, slow down and drive with caution."
Give yourself extra time to get where you are going and give plenty of following distance to the car in front of you.
