Dec. 22, 2022, 3pm — We’ve spent the day preparing for the prediction of 10-20 cm of new snow starting at 11pm tonight. We are winter ready and we will do our best to keep our roads and walkways safe for you.

Conditions: Current road conditions:

• Priority 1 routes – Bare in most sections, patch snow/ice in shaded areas, piles from plowing on roadsides, new application of salt applied
• Priority 2 routes – Snow-covered and easily passable, snow accumulations on road edges or areas with parked cars
• Priority 3 routes – Snow-covered and passable, snow clearing has occurred at least once, and crews are revisiting as they finish up work on Priority 1 & 2 routes

Upcoming activities:

Streets:
• Full application of salt to all Priority 1 routes throughout today
• Monitoring weather through the evening as we prepare for the Storm Event
• All available equipment is on standby and scheduled for 3 am; however we will be able to mobilize earlier if the snow comes sooner.

Parks:
