Good morning! Want to remind everyone of a few things before the weather gets here! First, the wind chill is going to make it very cold out there. If you can just stay inside, please do so. If the snow starts to fall and blow over the roadway, stay home. We don’t want you freezing waiting for someone to try to get to you. Plus, we don’t want to put our first responders at risk. If your electricity goes out for any reason, please call your electric company and let them know. There is a number on your bill for those situations. We do not have access to turn the electricity back on, even though we wish we did! Lastly, if you must be on the road (we hope you don’t) please download the KanDrive App! You can get real time road conditions and even live cameras along our highway. If you have to ask if the roads are bad, you should probably just stay home! If the snow is blowing, dispatch is probably busy and there is only one person there, so please be mindful! Keep the lines open for emergencies. It’s not worth putting yourself in danger. Stay safe and warm! ... See MoreSee Less
