MSson County residents were not as thrilled as more than a foot of snow dumped in many locations,
trapping residents in their homes and causing businesses, schools and government offices to shut

areas.
On Tuesday, Cyndi Ticknor of Mason County Public
Works said the department decided Friday to run two
12-hour shifts to remove snow.
"That way we have people working 24 hours a day,"
she said. "We have all of our equipment up and run-
ning at all times. Overall. we have an absolutely excel-
lent crew and everybody is on board and everyone is
working hard. We have supervisors rotating shifts on
and off and we're in conference several times a day to
revise strategies as needed. We were expecting quite a
bit of snow, but we were expecting it to end too."
Allan. Eaton, Mason County Public Works assistant
road operations and maintenance manager, said the
-Board of Mason County Commissioners has been sup-
portive of the department's efforts.
"Essentially, they're keeping themselves in the loop

since late afternoon yesterday and the conditions keep

the main arterials open, to try and get the fire stations
