Ice on city streets and bridges melted away Thursday as Warren County emergency officials lauded the public response to this week’s wintry weather.

“We just have a little bit of ice on some of the bridges,” Warren County Emergency Management Director John Elfer said. “I’d say we’re in good shape.”

Snow fell in parts of Vicksburg around 5 p.m. Wednesday, but the flakes turned quickly to cold rain as temperatures stayed at or just above freezing through the night. Rainfall Wednesday reached 1.4 inches at Vicksburg Water Treatment Plant. The National Weather Service recorded 0.88 of an inch at Vicksburg Tallulah Regional Airport.

Classes at public and private schools in Vicksburg and Warren County resumed Thursday. Schools had been closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Also, government employees in the city and county returned to work.

No calls related to weather conditions or road conditions were reported last night, Sheriff Martin Pace said.

Elfer said the public stayed off the roads for the most part Tuesday and Wednesday nights, which kept traffic incidents to nil.

“I just thank everyone for staying home,” Elfer said. “Just pay attention to the forecasts and conditions. If you don’t have to be on the roads, just stay home.”

Overpasses at Indiana Avenue, Wisconsin Avenue and Halls Ferry Road were nearly clear of ice after city crews covered each with salt and sand the past two nights.

“We used 2,500 pounds of salt,” city streets superintendent Skipper Whittington said. “Each truck holds 10 yards of sand, and we had 20 truckloads. So, that’s about 200 yards of sand.”

Entergy Mississippi showed 24 customers without power on its website Thursday. More than 1,200 customers in Bovina had power restored Wednesday after an outage there.

Central Mississippi’s roller-coaster weather was to continue heading into the weekend.

No rain was forecast Thursday, with highs to reach 44. Lows heading into Friday were to dip to 27, with winds from the north to reach gusts up to 25 mph. Highs were to gradually rise through Sunday, with a high of 70 predicted for Monday.
