What triggers snow plowing?

Priority 1 roads (Location A/red on map) will be plowed or sanded within 48 hours of a snowfall event; they will be plowed if snow accumulation is over 5 cm, sanded if under 5 cm. Priority 2 (Location B/blue on map) routes will be plowed within 72 hours, and all other plowing will be done as needed. See the Initial Snow Plow Map HERE.
