COLUMBUS, Ind. - People who call Columbus home found themselves waking up to almost a foot of snow Monday morning. At last check, the snow total was close to nine inches in some parts of the county, the most they’ve seen in years. Over the course of the winter storm, the county has been under a travel warning, which is the highest level of travel advisory you can have here. It's restricted to emergency services only.  “Everyone is working as a team to keep everyone safe and keep us informed on what we need to know,” said John Martoccia, chief deputy with the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office. Even when that travel advisory is lifted, the Bartholomew County Emergency Management team wants to remind you to be extra cautious out on the roadways. “When it is safe to travel again, make sure you allow yourself extra time to get to your destination,” said Shannan Cooke, the director of the Bartholomew County EMA. “Allow that extra distance between you and the vehicles around you. Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle and have that include blankets, water, food, a snack of some sort, in case you do get stranded, you have a way to stay warm and hydrated until crews can get there.” According to the sheriff’s office, there were no major accidents in Bartholomew County over the course of the storm. However, they did respond to a lot of slide-offs. “Most of our calls are for slide-offs,” Martoccia said. “People stuck on the county roads, those intersections, those are pretty much the calls we’ve been getting since last night.” Between 6 and 9 a.m. on Monday, the Bartholomew County EMA reported 75-100 slide-offs. The worst area to see these was the northeast part of the county. “We have not had snow like this for quite awhile,” Cooke said. “That’s the problem there. People are getting out. They are getting stuck.” The roads are expected to improve heading into the evening hours on Monday and even more so on Tuesday.
