When there is ice conditions, the Road Maintenance Department will scatter sand, salt or chemicals on the hills, curves and intersections on the roads and streets that have ice on them. This will only happen when the wind is not blowing. During a storm, if winds cause blizzard conditions, the plows will be called back to the shop or areas where they are stationed. Only in emergency situations such as ambulance calls, stranded motorists, or life and death situations will the plows go out with a team of employees and vehicles.
