Snow Removal

"At the first sign of snow, the county's patrol driver radios his central dispatcher."

"Each county road yard calls in their drivers - at any time, day or night."

"Salting 1,200 miles of roads before morning rush hour means crews have to be on the road at least two hours before motorists head to work."

"As many as 131 salt trucks attack the storm. Fewer can be used if the storm only hits part of the county."

"Once all major roads have been cleared, crews can finish their shift and get some rest, but..."

"... if snow keeps falling, crews will stay on the job, and away from their families, until roads are clear and safe."
