Snowplow operations began early on Thursday, Feb. 15, with crews starting to clear the streets from 4:30 a.m. The initial focus was on main roads, with a full plow of all city-maintained streets starting at 6:30 a.m. This process, which includes main streets, residential areas, and cul-de-sacs, takes several hours.
Sidewalks are also expected to be cleared within 48 hours. The city advises residents to avoid street parking when snow accumulation reaches three inches or more. This helps ensure that the plowing process is not disrupted and that crews can clear the snow effectively.
The city will provide updates if another full plow is scheduled. Residents can call the Snowplow Hotline at 763-755-2880 (select menu option 3) or sign up for email updates for more information.
In conclusion, the city started a full plow operation on Thursday, Feb. 15, at 4:30 a.m. The operation includes clearing all city-maintained streets and sidewalks. Residents are advised to avoid street parking until the snow is cleared.
