Full Plow Operations
Full plow operations will begin after 2 or more inches of snow has
fallen and the storm begins to taper off. A full plow event requires
participation of all departments in Public Works including Streets,
Parks and Utilities. Streets, cul-de-sacs, sidewalks, trails and lots
will all be plowed at this time.
Start times will very depending on the forecasted storm ending. This is
because Blaine doesn't have the ability to plow multiple shifts due to
manpower limitations. We strive to be done plowing in 8 hours with a
normal snow event but there may be times snow removal will not be done
during high traffic times so residents are encouraged to plan
accordingly.
Limited Operations
In the event Blaine receives less than 2 inches of snow, limited
operations will take place as to not shut down the regular functions
related to the Utility and Park Departments. This could range from just
the trucks clearing streets to only anti-icing operations. Cul-de-sacs
may not be plowed at this time due to the low volume of traffic
affected.
