OEM Chief: So Far, So Good In Storm, But 'Don't Jinx It'

Township roads have been quiet throughout the storm so far, according to Ed Mangold, department coordinator for Jefferson's Office of Emergency Management (OEM).

"So far, so good," he said. "The plows were out very early this morning, and we've been plowing and salting continuously all day.

"Don't jinx it," Mangold continued. "I hope it stays as quiet as it's been so far."

Only "very minor" accidents have been reported by the Jefferson Police, according to Capt. Eric Wilsusen.

"Having schools closed really helped us out a lot," Wilsusen said. "The roads have been quiet."

There have been no power outages reported in the township.
