Snow Plowing Operation
-
It is Park County’s policy to plow after an accumulation of four (4) inches of snow
-
Like sanding, such plowing is limited to normal weekday hours, except for time of severe weather conditions.
-
During major snowstorms, snow removal operations will concentrate on keeping the main traveled arteries open during normal school/working hours. Mailbox pullouts may be plowed only after the road system has been plowed and clean up operations can commence. Driveways are generally the responsibility of the property owners, with possible exceptions for emergency situations.
-
Snow removal operations will not be conducted between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. for any reason except a life threatening emergency.
-
Exceptions to this priority system include school bus routes and emergency access requirements.
-
During severe storms (storm conditions which threaten life and property of the public or response personnel and equipment), the County may suspend snow removal operations, except emergency responses as directed under the County’s Severe Storm Contingency Plan.
