WEEKEND UPDATE:

Please be cautious if you must drive this weekend in the upcoming storm. Our snow plow crews are ready and will be out working to keep the roadways clear. However, due to the extremely low temperatures that are expected, it is possible that ice and snow pack will be present. The effectiveness of salt diminishes significantly when temperatures reach 15-20 degrees Fahrenheit, which is what is forecasted. That said, we do mix salt with some fine aggregate material to assist with tire friction for an added measure of safety.

Please stay safe this weekend.
