Commissioner warns residents: 'You cannot drive on ice' as county prepares for storm
Summary
Commissioner Willis warned Jefferson County residents of an incoming storm expected Saturday into Sunday and urged people not to drive on ice; the County Judge recounted a past January storm and credited cautious driving for avoiding wrecks.
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.
