City Crews Plowing Primary and Secondary Streets Today, Tuesday, February 18

The City’s crews are plowing primary and secondary streets today, Tuesday, February 18, as snow continues to fall. An additional 2-4 inches of snow is expected throughout the day today, and crews will need to return to primary streets. Crews will continue working during snowfall, and will continue working after the snow ends until all streets are plowed and treated.

Extremely low temperatures are expected over the next few days, which will limit the effectiveness of salt treatments on streets, and snow will continue to be packed to streets even after being plowed and treated. Sunshine and warmer temperatures over the weekend will help with additional melting.
