How are heavy snow accumulations of six inches or more handled?
A While these snow accumulations of six inches or more happen five or six times per season, these are the most challenging. While snow accumulations of two to four inches are cleared in five hours on each route, snow clearing times increase as snow accumulations increase, doubling at eight inches of snow, and lengthen even more depending on the temperature (around 32 degrees Fahrenheit snow is heavier), snow amounts and traffic congestion.
