(Cleveland)- As we begin another week with the prospects of more frozen precipitation, but forecasters say it will be nothing like last weeks ice storm that left thousands of people in the dark with power outages all over White and surrounding counties. Last weeks storm also left a lot of downed trees that will need to be cleaned up.
Friday White County officials gathered at the county Emergency Operations Center for a debriefing of the weeks storm activities and look a predicted weekend wintery precipitation.
During that meeting White County Public Works Director Terry Palmer said they had around 300 trees that had to be cut out of the roads and pushed to the side. All that debris has to be cleaned up and Palmer estimated it would take 3-4 weeks of work to clean it up.
County officials were expected to meet Monday and look at possibly getting some assistance from the state to do the clean up.
