- All roads will be plowed to bare pavement as soon as possible after a storm has ended.
- A storm has "ended" when wind has diminished and temperatures start to rise above freezing.
- Passable is not considered bare pavement
- Plowing generally begins with an accumulation of snow between 1" and 3" deep.
- Please note, the type of snow (wet or powdery), the temperatures, and wind conditions following a storm can alter this schedule.
