Bad road conditions main concern in Covington as next winter storm approaches Main highways plowed in Tipton County before 2nd round of winter weather By Cassie Carlson | February 16, 2021 at 8:51 PM CST - Updated February 16 at 11:29 PM MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Covington got more than four inches of snow in the first round of snow, Monday. With more on the way, road conditions are the main concern in Covington. Covington Mayor Justin Hanson said the city has been prepping roads since last Thursday, but they haven’t seen a weather event like this before. Luckily, there haven’t been many major accidents. Highway 51 was cleared Tuesday and in fairly good conditions. However, the side streets were in bad shape. With the sun out, it did melt some of the snow already on the ground, which is why there’s so much concern as temperatures drop and snow falls overnight.
