MONROE - Roads were a little more clear Wednesday morning and schools were back in session after about three inches of snow fell on the region Tuesday.
Tuesday's mixture of snow and ice made driving difficult. Road crews worked throughout the day and then went back out again at 5 a.m. today to continue to clear the roads.
Green County Highway Commissioner Dallas Cecil said the road were in fair shape but still cautioned people who planned to drive.
"There's a track down for most of them but there's still places where they're snow covered and slippery," he said.
Cecil said two issues have come up because of the snow that need to be addressed. He has received complaints about people plowing snow from their driveways across the road. Cecil said it's illegal to plow snow across the road. Homeowners who do that will be sent a warning letter, but if they continue they could be ticketed.
Cecil also wanted to suggest people who plow their driveways pile the snow on the righthand side of their driveway so when plows come through to clear the road they won't push the snow back into the driveway.
Like Green County, Lafayette County roads were in fair condition this morning but there were some slippery areas, highway commissioner Tom Jean said. Road crews were out at 5 a.m. to continue to clear the roads, but drivers need to exercise caution.
"They have to remember that's it's winter in Wisconsin," he said.
Despite the snow and ice, neither county reported any serious accidents Tuesday.
Green County Sheriff Randy Roderick said five vehicles slid off the road. Lafayette County Chief Deputy John Reichling said seven vehicles slid off roads in Lafayette County.
"I think people were driving more cautiously," Reichling said. "The fact school was canceled helped a lot, too. There wasn't a large number of cars on the roads."
