About 3-6 inches of new snow fell this throughout the County this afternoon. Road crews have moved back to Priority 1 roads, and will continue clearing them overnight. Once the Priority 1 roads are clear, crews move to Priority 2 roads. You can see the snow and ice control plan, a map with road priorities, information on closures and delays, and several helpful links on the County’s inclement weather page.
"This unprecedented winter storm creates a challenge for everyone," said Commissioner Ed Wolfe, Chair of the Kitsap County Commission. "We're proud of County road crews who have been working 12 hour shifts around the clock since Thursday night. Their skill and expertise helps keep roads clear for law enforcement, fire, medical and deliveries of vital supplies. We are appreciative of the service and dedication of those employees as well all the corrections staff, mechanics and facilities staff that are supporting the County’s operations during these multiple weather events”.
