UPDATE:
Junction Public Works Director Ray Ibarra feels there has been substantial progress on snow removal from city streets. Speaking at about 6 p.m. he noted that the city had as many as six trucks and crews out working on the effort. "They have done a really good job of making sure the arterials and collectors are well taken care of, and now we are working in the residential areas."
Ibarra is hopeful that residential streets can be reasonably clear by Friday morning. "Yes that's what we're looking for, that's what we're shooting for. "Ibarra added that he was proud of the employees who did an excellent job of getting the snow cleared off the roads.

Geary County Public Works Director Corey Trumpp said just after 1 p.m. Thursday that the asphalt roads in the county were in pretty good shape. Slush was developing on some of them. "Traveling public still needs to take into account that this slush is a little tricky to drive on. You can hydroplane on it."
The county had five trucks going over all of the asphalt paved roads. There were also plans to dispatch out a pair of blades later in the afternoon to hit some of the more traveled roads before the end of the day, and to put blades out early.
