With a clipper threatening the morning commute, Camden County will continue to monitor weather forecasts and keep an eye on the latest roadway conditions.
“Our public works employees are on standby and our equipment has been prepped to address any and all situations that may arise,” said Freeholder Ian Leonard, liaison to the Camden County Department of Public Works. “We will continue to monitor the weather overnight in order to respond and keep the roadways passable tomorrow morning.”
The latest forecast obtained by Camden County is predicting a clipper tomorrow morning bringing the potential for snow accumulation of a coating to an inch on all surfaces between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. The precipitation will end as rain by 1 p.m. and we will get a break in the day before another wave in the evening brings more snow and freezing rain to our area.
“We recommend that motorists remain cautious and give themselves extra time to reach their destinations,” Leonard said. “Anyone on the roadways tomorrow morning should be prepared to encounter slick or icy road conditions.”
At the public works complex in Lindenwold, more than 70 pieces of equipment stand ready to keep county roadways passable and motorists moving. If the weather becomes treacherous personnel will be dispatched to 12 winter maintenance districts to address salt and plow 400 miles of roadways across Camden County. The county’s response plan calls for crews to be dispatched only to the zones where they are needed.
