Commissioner Willis warned residents on Jan. 20 that a storm expected Saturday into Sunday could make road conditions dangerous and urged people not to drive on icy roads: "You cannot drive on ice." The commissioner said past accidents showed the danger of attempting to drive in those conditions.
The County Judge added an anecdote from a previous January storm, noting that cautious driving kept traffic largely safe and that only three Beaumont Police Department vehicles spun out during that earlier event. Commissioners urged residents to monitor forecasts and avoid unnecessary travel.
