Our plow operators continue working hard to manage the impacts of winter weather following more overnight snowfall and continued strong winds. While route completion was slightly slower due to the past few days of heavy accumulation, all routes were completed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding today as we worked to address the impacts of this week’s high snowfall and blowing snow. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated plow operators, who have been working hard since 2 a.m. to make our roads accessible and safe.
