Don't mind us...we're just here... moving snow... only to make room for more.
The City uses parking lots in the Village for snow storage & since we could see 3-5 ft (maybe more) of snow tonight- we surely need the space!
Village lots are still accessible.
Stay home. Stay safe.

This break in the storm is welcomed - but that doesn't mean that our crews have stopped working. Crews are still out-clearing/widening roads for our safety.
Take advantage of this break. We can potentially receive upwards of 3-5 ft (maybe more) of snow tonight.🤯

One of the more popular questions we have received lately is “why don’t you dump the plowed snow in the lake?” Well, the answer to that question is fairly simple - it's against the law & it's not environmentally friendly.
