County and state road crews are preparing for potentially slick roads in case snow falls this weekend.
The National Weather Service is predicting an 80 percent chance of precipitation and occasional snow in the Muskogee area for Saturday night and into Sunday morning. High Sunday is expected to be 39.
District 1 Muskogee County Commissioner Ken Doke said crews are stocking up sand and salt, as well as putting sand spreaders on trucks.
"Sanding crews have been given snow-ice routes and clearing protocols," he said. "All crews have been notified about the possibility of overtime."
