In Washington County, crews are on call ready to clean up snow in the morning.

Washington County Transportation Services Director Terry Gulley said Monday's prep isn't much different from last week.

Due to the rain storms Monday afternoon, roads could not be pre-treated.

Gulley has crews on call ready to react to any accumulated snow.

"We'll have an on call person all night. If we get called out, we'll scramble several people out and put the trucks on the road and try to be ready for the rush hour in the morning."

Gulley predicts road temperatures will stay above the freezing mark in Washington County so any snow on the roads will most likely melt.
