If you must travel, make sure you have your cars and coats ready during snow and ice. That’s according to Marion County Sheriff Ron Goemaat. He says residents should have winter car kits including a shovel, food, blankets, ice melt, and a bag of sand in case they become stranded. During severe winter weather, KNIA/KRLS works with the National Weather Service, Weather Eye weather center, and local officials to bring residents the most up to date information first, fast and accurately.
