Butler Co. Gets First Taste Of Winter
BUTLER (KDKA) - Butler County is received a couple of inches of snow overnight.
People were out early Tuesday morning shoveling sidewalks and getting ready to head back to work after the holidays.
Before the sun came up, the roads were cleared of snowy remains. However, the sidewalks were left to Randy Booher.
"We were due for it," Booher said.
Along main street in Butler, Booher grabbed his shovel and salt and got to work. Unfortunately, efforts made Monday around the Morgan Building, where he works, did not pay off.
"Seems like there's some ice. I salted it yesterday down here, but it must have melted and then new snow," Booher said.
