KENOSHA COUNTY -- Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth called in extra deputies Tuesday afternoon as snow forecast totals grew.

Extra deputies were already on duty, but that wasn't enough.

Another 45 crashes involved damage.

Plus, 6 personal injury crashes.

CBS 58's Keith Meka and his crew report seeing a lot of salt and plow trucks on the roads in Kenosha County. Look for Keith's live report tonight on CS 58's Ten at 10.
