Lake Saint Louis Road Crews Preparing for Storm

Predictions call for three to six inches of the white stuff to fall Monday evening and into Tuesday.

The National Weather Service expects snow to move in to the area by lunchtime Monday and continue as late as noon Tuesday. Lake Saint Louis Director of Public Works Darren Koestel isn't worried by the predicted three to six inches of snow. "Our crews are already out, putting down brine to pre-treat the roads," Koestel said. "It's not going to come down terribly fast. We should be able to handle that easily." Koestel said that plow crews would be working twelve-hour shifts, 24 hours a day for the duration of the snow storm. "We have plenty of salt," he said.
