WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER
The town of Greenburgh has 131 miles of roads that we must plow. Crews have been working since 7 AM today and won’t stop until all the roads in town are passable and in good shape. We have 35 town snow vehicles/trucks on our roads. It could take about three hours for each of the trucks to complete their route before they come back and start over again.
If snow is coming down fast enough a road can look like it never was plowed minutes after the plow goes through. Plowing isn’t a one and done thing—it’s a constant loop. Snow falls, plows clear it, snow immediately covers the road again. When snowfall rates are high accumulation outpaces plowing. Add wind, drifting, and it looks untouched.
The reality is that crews are working nonstop. Plows don’t stop the snow. They only remove what already is fallen.
