Snow closes school, roads still open
A two-inch blanket of snow fell in Hartselle and Morgan County Wednesday night leaving ice on streets and roads and causing Hartselle City and Morgan County School systems to cancel classes.
However, streets remained passable thanks to the work of Hartselle Public Works. Crews worked throughout the night putting sand down to improve traction on icy patches.
“Everything is moving as far as city operations are concerned,” said Mayor Dwight Tankersley. “That includes garbage pickup.”
“But we’re encouraging people not to get out on the streets and roads unless it is necessary,” he stated.
School closings affected the start of area basketball competition.
