City Crews Plowing and Treating Streets Today, Tuesday, Jan. 9

The City's crews are plowing and treating streets today, Tuesday, Jan. 9. Accumulating snow ended around noon today. Primary streets are nearly complete and crews are working in secondary streets. With more than six inches of snow and gusty winds, it will take crews 40-48 hours to plow and treat all streets in the City. Crews are expected to continue working until Thursday, Jan. 11.

Pavement temperatures are helping to melt snow, and some streets are clear; however, blowing snow across north/south streets is causing minor issues in open areas and crews are having to re-plow some streets. Pavement temperatures are expected to drop below freezing overnight and streets may refreeze. Snow may remain packed to streets even after plowing and treating. Temperatures on Wednesday, Jan. 10, should be in the low- to mid-30’s which will help with continued melting.

The City is also monitoring the weather forecast for more snow expected Thursday evening and overnight into Friday, Jan. 12. Conditions are not expected to be as favorable for this storm, as temperatures are expected to fall well below freezing through the weekend. The City will continue to monitor the forecast and update its response as necessary.
