Channel 9′s Gina Esposito spoke with residents near Frank Liske Park in Concord about the winter wonderland.
“I saw it collect on the grass and then walked to my car and saw it on my car,” said resident Mikayla Ross.
Esposito also spoke with county workers who were already laying down deicing solutions across the area.
The snow and icy road conditions also impacted several school districts in our area.
