We had rain Monday that turned to snow overnight. The plows took the snow off the ice but did not salt the road. Leave the snow on the ice on the roads if you aren't going to salt dinglebats. Pete, maybe you could shed some light on that reasoning? I saw they did gravel it this afternoon.

Tough call to make. Depends on how much snow was on top,temp, etc.
We usually leave the snow (2 inches or less) if it turns to rain but that also depends on current and predicted temps.
Ice and changing to snow would be a little different. If the storm is over we'd plow and sand the ice then salt it after (black top roads.... we don't salt dirt roads).
If still snowing at some point you have to plow it. Salt takes a while to work ( temp. dependent) and we don't sand until after the storm except hills, corners and intersections.
We've gone through 2/3rds of our sand pile already and the salt delivery trucks are
showing up weekly. We have had 2 delivery's this week.
Snowing right now and i'm out the door. Not a big storm but these little ones use as much sand / salt as the big ones. Ice storms a bit more and we've had quit a few so far this winter.
