GONZALES, La. (Louisiana First) — As low temperatures continue, Ascension Parish and city officials emphasized that they're working hard to keep everyone safe. "This is the most snow that I have ever seen in my career. And I've been a fire chief for 38 years," said St. Amant Fire Department Chief James LeBlanc. As snow has impacted all areas of Louisiana, the mayor of the city of Gonzales Tim Riley said he is optimistic about the weather recovery. "The citizens of Gonzales are resilient, they are obedient and they're cooperative," said Riley. "Our water well is doing very, very good. Our towers are doing good, we're watching our equipment. Our equipment is doing good. So we have not had a lot of problems. We've been blessed." The city has also opened a warming center at the Gonzales Civic Center and will be open until Thursday, Riley encourages people to use it. "If citizen's heaters are giving them problems or their gas goes out, the citizens of Gonzales can come here and warm up, eat a hot meal," said Riley. Sheriff Bobby Webre with the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office emphasized that safety is a top priority, and the department has been helping in any way they can and doubling up on staff. Webre said the curfew is still in place until Thursday. "We'll have our curfew again tonight from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.," said Webre. "That really helped us last night and I was so glad to report this morning in our briefing that we had no traffic fatalities. We didn't even have a traffic accident last night so that was unbelievable." As the snow melts, he urges people to stay at home and not leave their homes if it's not an emergency. "The sun is shining, the snow it's very pretty. But the road conditions are very hazardous and the snow is different from the ice. Ice is actually a little more challenging," he said. "The little bit of snow that will melt today will freeze back into ice in no time, which makes traveling and even walking a lot more difficult."
