“We had several deputies out who responded to 121 snowbound vehicles in a 24 hour period,”the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office posted on its Facebook page about the Feb. 24 storm. “That’s more than half the 212 total for the 2018-2019 winter season so far. We transported several people to hotels, gas stations, shelters and other locations.
“Then again on Monday we spent several hours providing traffic control for plows and wreckers to clear the roads and remove vehicles.”
