The Flathead County Roads Department is preparing for a lot of snow accumulation in the next few days.
MTN News reached out on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, to speak to someone but it's all hands on deck as they prepare for more snow.
Officials tell us that last wind gusts were a huge part of the problem with the last storm and note that with lower winds expected this time around, roads should see less drifting of snow.
However, the Flathead County Sheriff's Office is still asking people to stay off the roads once the storm moves in.

While conditions are not anticipated to be as severe as last week's whiteout, officials are urging caution and asking residents to be prepared for changing conditions.
