Snow operations scheduled to continue tomorrow morning at 7 am

(COLUMBIA, MO) -

Priority routes have been inspected and are currently considered to be in a passable condition, as defined by policy available at CoMoSnow.com. Therefore, Crews are scheduled to continue to address residential streets tomorrow during regular business hours as needed assuming priority routes remain passable after today's shift.

Weather and road conditions will be monitored should a new weather event occur, which has not been forecast and is not currently anticipated. Temperatures over the next few days are expected to range from single digits to the mid 20s with little to no precipitation. Warmer weather possible Monday.

Our policies for going into residential neighborhoods are available at CoMoSnow.com, but to summarize the designated snow routes are the priority during a snow event. If less than four inches, residential streets are addressed after priority routes are passable during regular business hours. Once crews start into residential areas they are always subject to being recalled to priority routes by the incident commander. If the event is more than 4 inches, the same standard applies except that crews work overtime in order to address priority streets and then residential streets once priorities are passable.
