Inclement weather is once again taxing residents, police and street departments alike.
Reports from Warsaw Municipal Airport's National Weather Service station indicate snowfall around seven inches since Monday night.Areas like Chapman Lake and Mentone have reported snowfall near a foot in that time with more snow expected today, Thursday and Friday.
Kosciusko County Dispatch has received 93 calls of slide-offs, property damage and personal injury accidents since early Tuesday morning.
Drivers and pedestrians alike are advised to use caution and allow for extra travel time.
The Kosciusko County Highway Department is dealing with a salt shortage.
According to Kosciusko County Highway Department Superintendent Dennis Pletcher, the department used half of the salt purchased for this winter in December.
"The problem is when you lay salt down on the first snow, you expect it to get colder as the winter goes along. What we've had this winter is a snow, then it warms up and melts and washes all that salt away. So we have to start from square one."
Pletcher said his crews started plowing roads at 4 a.m. Tuesday and many employees worked 12 hours or more.
One thing drivers won't have to worry about with the wintry weather is potholes.
Snow and ice have filled up a lot of the potholes in the county.
But Pletcher advised that as the snow melts again, it will worsen the conditions of those potholes.
Conditions have improved slightly.
