BELOIT â Beloit residents were urged to get vehicles off the roadways, avoid putting snow in the street and to clear their sidewalks in light of the icy, rainy and snowy winter storm predicted to strike Tuesday afternoon. Beloit Department of Public Works (DPW) Director Laura Williamson said crews were getting equipment ready and checking to make sure the fleet was ready for the past few days. Workers began applying a pretreatment on streets Tuesday morning. The National Weather Service was forecasting 5 to 7 inches of snow and freezing rain Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning. Once the snow hit Tuesday afternoon, crews were going to plow the main roadways to ensure people could get home from work. ....

It will come slowly, not overnight, and will require more diligence and, yes, sacrifice. But with science and public health practices there is hope in the new year. ....
Iâm back. Not that I ever really went away. As announced at the time, my last official day as the BDNâs editor was Nov. 20 after 44 years with the paper. An old friend and colleague, Sid Schwartz, assumed regional editor management duties for the Adams Publishing Group of Southern Wisconsin, including Beloit. Sidâs calling the shots now, with a talented team in Beloit, and heâll be good at it. Meanwhile, BDN subscribers know Iâve always had a lot of thoughts and opinions about, well, nearly everything going on around the Stateline Area, in Wisconsin, in Illinois, and now and then the country as a whole. Fact is, I have enjoyed opinion writing for decades and, at the risk of being a bit immodest, a multitude of industry awards for those efforts suggests I have some knack for it. ....
