Shovel smartly! Remember to use your legs and not your back.

Allow the plow some room on the road, and your trip will be safer even when it has snowed!

Did you know that our plows move slow for a reason? The optimal speed to distribute sand and de-icer is 30-45 mph. Otherwise, the valuable material would bounce or run right off the roadway. Make sure to pack your patience on a snowy winter day! Our goal is the same as yours: getting to our destinations safely.

A cold front will move across the region this afternoon and evening. This will cause precipitation to change from rain to snow. Changeover to snow will likely lag frontal timing by 2-3 hours. Roads will also freeze behind this front creating the potential for slick roads.

A Winter Storm Warning for freezing rain ice accumulations up to a quarter of an inch has been issued through 8 PM Thursday. Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. Significant ice accumulation will impact Wednesday evening and Thursday morning commutes.
