Shelby County is in good shape this afternoon thanks to the tireless work of our city and county road crews!
We’ll be keeping our eyes on road conditions throughout tonight, and will provide updates tomorrow morning by 5:30 if we have any for Wednesday, December 3rd. If you hear nothing from us, that means we’ll be ready to welcome students back into the classroom bright and early!
