09 December 2009:

NORTH REGION Snow fell throughout the day into the evening accumulating .25” to.50”. At 1 pm. all sites were rechecked. Some sites met the contract threshold and were plowed. Sites that had already been plowed earlier were also rechecked for cleanup needs. . During this time commercial sites were cleaned and de-icing was applied as needed. The temperatures began to fall late afternoon causing any moisture on the ground to freeze. In addition the wind began to blow the snow around making for dangerous travel and drifting of snow.

CENTRAL REGION Snow fell throughout the day into the evening accumulating .25” to.50. It was determined that approximately 50% of this regions sites that did not get plowed earlier, would require them to get plowed as contract thresh holds were met. Some sites that were plowed earlier would require an additional cleaning. Plow operations started at 1:00 pm and were finished at or about 8:00 pm. At the same time as the sites were being plowed a de-icing application was completed on all authorized sites Commercial sites were plowed and de-icing applications were done as needed.
