Cooler night temps near freezing have been sneaking up on us. Dry roads have potential to frost up based on air mass moisture, dew point & freezing temps. Emcon night crew monitor road conditions & apply brine as required to ensure safe travels for all.

Fewer daylight hours in fall & winter have us driving to & from work in dark conditions. Daytime running lights on "most" newer vehicles don't turn on tail lights. Do not be a hazard to others. Manually turn your lights on to be seen!
