Snow: More cold coming
Continued from Page 1A
Last winter, the snow fell
heavy in November and De-
cember, but then melted by
a warm spell in February,
Macke said.
“It started off OK (last
year), but petered really
fast,” he said. “For water re-
tention, we hope the snow
continues.”
As for a white Christmas
in Polk County at the valley
floor, it’s unlikely, Macke
said.
“If you’re willing to drive
a little bit, you’re going to be
able to find a white Christ-
mas,” he said. “You don’t
have many white Christ-
mases in the valley level. For
winter weather, it takes too
much to be just right for
cold and moisture.”
It’s still early, Macke said,

lot of winter to go. You can
expect wintery conditions to
continue off and on
throughout the winter.”
POLK COUnTy — During
snow, the Polk County Public
Works Department works to
keep county roads clear for
traffic. Keep an eye out for
snow plows.
When roads need to be
plowed, the county prioritizes
them based on many things,
including traffic. Some county
roads are not plowed. Keep
extra medication, food, and
other supplies when storms
are forecasted.
It is the property owner’s
responsibility to clear drive-
ways and access roads.

letin 2016-2017” on the coun-
ty’s website: co.polk.or.us.
