Beers said it was “lucky” that no collision occurred in Park County last week. He asks drivers to show caution and courtesy while approaching plows. He suggests planning ahead and making extra time for your winter travels, which is wise advice. But here’s another idea that might also help: The next time you get stuck behind a slow-moving snow- plow or construction vehicle, before you get angry, consider feeling thankful that there’s someone work- ing to improve your road. We’re fortunate to have crews from the City of Powell, the Park County government and WYDOT who stand ready to get roads cleared and reopened as quickly as possible when snow or other elements strike. Certainly, plowing or road construction doesn’t always go as fast as we’d like and that can be frustrat- ing. But in the end, safety should trump convenience. As Beers put it, “We just need to do a better job of taking care of each other out there.”
