The first time it snows each winter invariably turns into rough going for area motorists who aren’t used to it, and it was a nasty snowfall last(Thur) night, especially on the local streets.
Burlington police say between 7 pm and midnight, they were called to 17 accidents…only one with injuries…and 12 motorist assists, most of them consisting of vehicles getting stuck…many on city hills…due to the snow- and ice-covered streets.
Between 8 pm and 2 am, Des Moines County deputies were called out to at least four accidents in the country.
