Weather update: Fort Department of Public works out today; precipitation expected to end around 2 p.m.

Tom Williamson, superintendent of the Fort Atkinson Department of Public Works, has released the following statement: “The Department of Public Works will continue to manage the roadways as best we can today. The weather forecasting has this rain/sleet-snow mix on and off throughout the day. It appears that the precipitation will end near 2 p.m.

“Residents and travelers should remain very cautious as road salt effectiveness diminishes with this type of mixed precipitation and temperatures hovering at or below freezing.

“The Department has trucks out doing the best we can to cope with these changing roadway conditions and will continue for the remainder of this event. We will reassess the conditions in the early afternoon to determine an appropriate plan of action to take us into Wednesday and hopefully some sunshine to dry things up.”
