The City of Jonesboro Streets Department has enacted a 12-hour shift of cleaning primary arterial roads.
Mayor Copenhaver asks the public to stay off the roads if possible, and move cars from the streets to enable COJ snow plows and chemical sprayers clear paths. Stay safe! ⚠️🥶
Data suggests some could have a dusting to an inch of snow by 6pm-9pm Sunday. If you're traveling this weekend, plan to be back Sunday afternoon. Roads will get bad quick with temperatures in the teens and snow-covered leftover ice patches still on the road. #arwx#arwx
