Carroll County Commissioner Stephen Wantz update on the aftermath of massive storm Jonas for Carroll County

Carroll County Commissioner Stephen Wantz update on the aftermath of massive storm Jonas for Carroll County

8 p.m. Tuesday, January 26, 2016

Earlier today on Facebook, Carroll County Commissioner Stephen Wantz posted an update on the aftermath of massive storm Jonas for Carroll County:

An update on the aftermath of massive storm Jonas for Carroll County. As of 4PM today every county road has been plowed. Crews will be working through the night to begin the task of widening lanes.

As President of the Board of Commissioners, I want to express our appreciation, for the cooperation and patience of our residents in Carroll County during this unprecedented storm.

We organized a very coordinated effort in Carroll County to deal with the cleanup and other effects of the storm.

From the National Guard assistance, to Law Enforcement, Fire and EMS workers, all entities represented at the Emergency Operations Center, Good Samaritan citizens, and private contractors who helped clear snow, and especially our Bureau of Roads Operations for working diligently night and day, on the daunting task of clearing 900+ miles of county roads.

We cannot forget fleet management who worked round the clock to repair and keep the plow equipment on the road. Many departments of Carroll County Government assisted us with our work in some way during the storm.

The dedication from all of these folks is very much appreciated. We are working with Superintendent Guthrie and CCPS on the daunting task of getting school lots ready for opening as soon as it is possible (CCPS maintenance and custodial crews are working hard clearing lots and sidewalks), and county crews are continuing to improve roads and intersections from the massive pileup of snow.

We are certainly not finished with the work at hand, and will continue to collaborate with all needed entities as we move forward during the storm recovery process, to get the county back to regular function.

Again thank you for listening to our call for patience and staying off the roads during the height of the snow removal, so that we could make this type of progress.

January 24, 2016 Sheriff DeWees snow update


January 24, 2016 Sheriff DeWees snow update

A big thank you to Commissioner Steve Wantz and Sheriff DeWees for all your hard work. Much appreciated.



Update: So after a long couple of days things are starting to get back to normal. Commissioner Wantz and I met with the folks at EOC today so we can lift the county state of emergency; which was done at 5 PM.

The decision was also made to close county government, the court system, and public schools. Road crews are still actively working to get roadways open and are concentrating all their efforts on doing that. As a result, other county complexes and school parking lots and facilities have not been touched, making it difficult to open all other county business tomorrow.

The county and I appreciate everyone staying off the roadways during this event, which gave road crews a chance to get the majority open.

We've had very few incidents throughout the county but have unfortunately had a few fatalities from exhaustion do to shoveling snow. A wise man once said "How would you eat an elephant ... one bite at a time." Think about the monumental task of shoveling snow the same way. Just do a little at a time and take a break.


Lastly, I have nothing but high praise for all the folks that worked the county emergency operations center, the county & state road crews, public works, 911 Center, National Guard and all of our law enforcement partners; and my patrol & correctional deputies for how they've handled this event. I'm very proud to be the sheriff and am grateful to have such dedicated people to work with.
