DeKalb County finds ways to make best of extreme weather
DeKALB – Dan Raih didn’t get a snow day Tuesday.
A crew leader in the street operations division for DeKalb Public Works, Raih woke up at 6 a.m. and had been plowing all day. Normally, he works an eight-hour shift, but on snowy days like Tuesday, the shift is extended to 12 hours.
“Whenever it starts, it doesn’t matter – whenever it starts,” Raih said. “If it’s going to snow for a long duration, we try to rotate through to keep the guys fresh. ... You come in when it starts.”
