CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) — The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Kanawha County beginning at noon today.
Since there is a potential for 4” to 8” of snow with this storm and hazardous road conditions, the Kanawha County Commission is allowing its non-essential employees to leave work early beginning at 1 pm. This will allow for safe travel home and allow for fewer people traveling on the roads during the snow event.
The Commission issued the following joint statement:
“The winter storm warning is to be taken seriously—those traveling need to take precautions. Drive slowly and prepare for hazardous conditions. We are allowing our non-essential employees to leave early for their safety and the safety of other drivers on the roads.”
The Commission will still hold its Commission Meeting tonight at 5 pm. Anyone who is not able to attend, but would like to submit a comment, may do so by email jennifer@kanawha.us
