wintry weather

WINSTON COUNTY - Winston County Commission Chairman David Cummings reports that, as of Sunday night, Jan. 25, a check of various roads in Winston County showed that moisture from recent rainfall has dried, but since temperatures are drastically  dropping into the teens, a travel advisory is  in effect for all county roads, due to the potential for ice on roadways and bridges. Travel is not advised but if necessary, motorists need to use extreme caution due to possible black ice and slick road conditions, Cummings said.

HALEYVILLE - Due to secondary roads still being deemed impassible  as of Thursday morning as well as a water issue at Haleyville  City schools that could pose a problem about ice, the schools   will be virtual this Friday January 19, announced superintendent Dr Holly Sutherland.

"We are not risking employee or student safety by trying to open school when it is not safe to do so," Sutherland emphasized. 

Sutherland encouraged all students to refer to their grade level and  classroom platforms,  online work platforms and iReady or their virtual assignments.

WINSTON COUNTY - Haleyville  Mayor Ken Sunseri and Winston County Commissioner David Cummings are advising that road conditions continue to worsen due to wintry weather, and that all county and City roads have been deemed impassible. The mayor is encouraging residents if at all possible to stay at home. The warming shelter is open at the community safe room located below City Hall. The mayor also expects road conditions to worsen throughout the day.

WINSTON COUNTY - County roads and some bridges are becoming slick with ice as of Monday morning, January 15, due to wintry weather, and a decision will be made later today on whether county roads will be closed, announced Commissioner David Cummings.
