Whidbey Island road crews earn plaudits


January 27, 2012 · Updated 1:57 PM 

As an emergency responder, I would like to say thank you to the road crews that spent much of the snow/ice period out plowing and sanding roads. They were out all hours of the day in terrible weather making the roads safer for travel.

We survived the snow with very few weather related incidents and I believe that they were greatly responsible for that. Thank you for what you did.  Also thank you to the administrative decisions at the base and schools which reduced traffic on the roadway.
