Compact snow and ice and super cold temperatures can make plowing difficult. Much like shoveling snow on an icy sidewalk, the plows work to push loose snow off the road rather than scrape or chisel the ice off the pavement (think of a giant squeegee). The back of the plow then applies sand to improve traction for cars and salt to help melt and break up the ice so it can be cleared. We are going to see some really cold temperatures again tonight and tomorrow which means slippery roads. Stay home
