Trotwood-- After the storm comes the cleanup. The Miami Valley saw anywhere from two to six inches of snow Wednesday morning, which in turn kept work crews busy. ODOT drivers spent hours clearing those roads from the blowing and drifting snow but their main advice for drivers is to watch out for refreezing.
The terrible roads and refreezing risks affected local businesses like Taste.
"It can affect us greatly what we do as chefs we have to forecast ourselves like we gotta forecast our business," said Reginald Gibson, Executive Chef. "So if the providers have to drive longer distances we see an increase we have to do things to compensate like cut staff."
The restaurant known for its Cajun cuisine, prepared early for this winter storm.
"We have to basically order food ahead of time sometimes we have to call our providers at the last minute, this is what we need because no matter what we're going to be there for the customers," said Gibson.
The slow business was due to people simply not wanting to go out on the roads.
"I probably will not be driving probably just walk around wherever I can and stay off the roads," said Samantha Herchick, a student at UD.
Bridges and overpasses tend to refreeze faster, but with warmer temps headed our way the risk of driving on refreezing roads will lower as the week progresses.
