Statewide shortage of road salt causes cutbacks

By WKYC Reporters Kim Wendell & Mike O'Mara

CANTON -- Superintendent of Public Works Kevin Monroe isn't worried but he's cautious. Monroe says there's a statewide shortage of available road salt from Cargill Incorporated's salt mine under Lake Erie in Cleveland.

He said it's not just Canton that's low on road salt but all the communities that get their salt from Cargill.

"We've had a series of storms the last few weeks that eroded Cargill's usual stockpile so now we wait until the salt is mined and then trucked directly from the mine to the communities," Monroe said.

Monroe said Cargill mines 14,000 tons a day in Cleveland and is now "railroading 6,000 tons of that 14,000 tons down to southern Ohio because they've had an unusual amount of snow down south this year."

Monroe said the Canton service department is in "conservation-mode," salting only the intersections, hills and traditionally slippery areas."

He said he is watching the amount of salt being used so it won't be necessary to go into "emergency mode" to cut further back on the amount of road salt that is being spread on the streets.

Canton just received a shipment of salt Thursday from Cargill and "Cargill promised us a large delivery again Saturday," Monroe added.

"It's not the big snowstorms that kill us, it's the half-inch of snow here and the half-inch of snow there that requires us not to plow but to salt over and over that kills us," Monroe said. "With a big snowfall, we are plowing and not salting."

Monroe said they have enough salt in the city's salt bin right now to last through a couple of more snowstorms.

The city has about 30 snowplows that cover nearly 900 lane miles of road.

The situation is much worse for private companies who plow and salt driveways and parking lots. Many are one storm away from being completely out of salt.

In Chagrin Falls, Wheeler Landscaping is getting no help from the salt mine suppliers. Their stockpile is down to just a few hundred pounds of salt.

"We've called every major trucking company, every supplier around here," said Mike Morgan, the manager of the Wheeler Snow and Ice division. "Nobody is releasing salt to the private businesses because the State of Ohio has grabbed the entire supply from us."

To make the product last as long as possible, most companies like Wheeler are mixing the pure salt with a product called "Magic-O" which allows them to use less salt per application.

Brent Smith, assistant manager at Wheeler Snow and Ice told Channel 3's Mike O'Mara that some customers don't care about the reasons for the short supply.

"The hospital systems have a zero tolerance policy for dangerous conditions," said Smith. "You have ambulances coming in and life flights coming in. People's health and a lot of times their life is hanging in the balance. You want the ambulance drivers to be able to get in and out. We are doing our best."

Over in Hambden Township, the salt supply is gone.
Trustees now plan to use cinders for traction. But they have nothing to melt the snow and ice that is headed toward Geauga County this weekend.

With companies, townships and cities all trying to nurse the the few tons of salt left in the barn, the search intensifies every day.

"We're calling everybody every day," said Smith. "For the last three weeks we've been on the phone trying to find stockpiles all across the country. Every day the same answer--sorry, call us tomorrow."

News: Recent heavy snow cuts off Red Cross blood donation drives

By WKYC Reporter Obie Shelton

CLEVELAND -- One of the problems that comes with snow cancellations is the number of organized American Red Cross blood drives that don't happen. The Northeast Ohio Red Cross said that 10 blood drives were cancelled Wednesday because the buildings where they were to be held were closed because of snow.

That translates to more than 430 pints of blood that will not be availible for patients in hospitals.

Estimates are that over 4,300 patients in 119 hospitals across northeast Ohio could be affected by a blood shortage, because a single blood donation can be separated into three parts; red blood cells, plasma, and platelets.

The Red Cross is urging people who can make it to a donation center in the next few days to please do so. To find a donation center near you, call (800) GIVE-LIFE.

Because of snow days in February, more than 2,000 pints of blood have been lost throughout the entire state of Ohio.

As of Wednesday morning, the American Red Cross says there were no reserve units of type B-negative blood and only 10 units of type O-negative. Type-O is critical because it is the universal blood type that can be given to any patient in an emergency situation.

Blood donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds, be in general good health, and provide an American Red Cross donor card or a valid state photo ID.

News: Missed the lunar eclipse?

If you missed Wednesday night's lunar eclipse, here's another chance to see it.

For those who were lucky enough to have no cloud cover to obscure the view, this was the scene in the sky.

The eclipse was at its peak between 10 P.M. and 10:52 P.M. Eastern time as the earth blocked the sun's reflection off the moon.

Astronomers said the total lunar eclipse will be the last one until December 2010.

News: Weather radios may need an upgrade as National Weather Service gets new transmitter

More people in northwest Ohio will be alerted when severe weather is coming their way. That's thanks to a new transmitter the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service is installing on March 3.

The new transmitter will broadcast a new, clearer frequency with triple the power of the their old frequency.

People with older NOAA weather radios may have to upgrade their equipment for the new transmitter because the older radios won't pick up the new frequency.

The increased signal power from 100 watts to 300 watts, will allow increased coverage area and will eliminate interference in northwest Ohio and southern Michigan.

"This new transmitter will allow us to serve northwest Ohio better, with a clearer and stronger signal," said Gary Garnet, warning coordination meteorologist for NOAA's National Weather Service forecast office in Cleveland. "By increasing the signal power by 300 percent, we can reach more people with timely and accurate warnings."

Tuesday evening snow totals through 11 PM - 2/12/08

News: ODOT reminds drivers to give snowplows plenty of room

To keep drivers safe, especially on the highways, ODOT is reminding drivers to "not crowd the plow."

ODOT says drivers should remember to give snowplow drivers plenty of room in which to do their work and not get to close on the highway. The blade on a snowplow can extend across a road's centerline and shoulder. To avoid vehicle damage drivers are advised not to tailgate or ride along side snowplows for any extended period of time.

ODOT offers the following tips to drivers for sharing the roads with snowplows and salt trucks.

• Don't Crowd the Plow: A snowplow driver's field of vision is restricted. You may seen them, but they don't always see you.


• Watch for Clouds of Snow: Snowplows can throw up a cloud of snow that can reduce visibility to zero in less time than you can react.


• Keep Lights and Windows Clear: Clear the snow from your vehicle's windows and lights, and drive with your lights on.

News: Clean Air Ahead for Groundhog Day

Here is an Air Quality forecast from NOACA's Air Quality Programs' Mascot, Wheezer the Forecasting Groundhog, for Groundhog Day:

"Our area will have "good" air this weekend. Thanks to moderate westerly winds, fine particle pollution levels will remain in the healthy range!

Hopefully, this can be the beginning of a clean air trend starting this season! As the sun starts to come out and temperatures rise this spring, ground-level ozone problems will start to kick in. We can't control the weather but we can control our actions. With all the effort people in Northeast Ohio are making to drive less, carpool more, ride the bus, and ride bikes, we may have cleaner air than last year. Thank you to everyone who is doing their part. To learn more, go to our website and view real-time air quality maps: www.noaca.org"
