MORRISTOWN, Ohio -- While the snow is taking a brief break, the Ohio Department of Transportation workers are not.
The trucks that have been rolling nonstop for the past three days are pulled into the garage for some much needed upkeep.
Thirty two drivers have all been working 12 hour shifts.
They've scraped and treated the state highways in Belmont County since early Monday morning.
Trucks are also in the garage going through maintenance checks that are mandatory every 4,000 miles.
"We're currently servicing all the trucks that need serviced," said Dave Schafer, ODOT county director. "They're changing plow blades on all the plows that have worn out their blades over the last few days."
While the trucks are being prepared for the wintry blast the supplies of ice melting chemicals are ready too.
"We've still got a large amount of materials left, more than average winters require," said Schafer. "So we're in good shape, inventory-wise."
With 700 lane miles of state roads in Belmont County it's a tall order, especially when the snow has been slow but steady most days for the last several weeks.
And now there's another storm on the way.
"It sounds as if it's going to have some measurable snow but we'll be ready for it and attack it when it comes," Schafer concluded.
