Blowing Snow, Impassable Roads, Stuck Snowplows, Boone County, IL – 2/5/2021

Winds gusting 30-40 mph caused several north-south roads across Boone and Winnebago to become impassable due to blowing and drifting snow. While trying to clear Ramsy Rd in rural Boone County, the Boone County Public Works Department managed to get three of their plow trucks stuck. Fortunately, they were able to get them out, but the road remained impassable due to 2-3 foot snow drifts completely blocking the road.
