With the melting and then freezing conditions over the last couple days our roads are very slippery in many places. Woodchuck is being sanded, but we cannot get to all the icy spots on various roads before it starts snowing later today.
If you must travel use extreme caution, carry chains and your cell phone, and tell someone where you are going and when.

The east side roads were cleaned up yesterday and this morning.
With a forecast of new snow starting later today and continuing into Monday we may begin plowing the west side (Colt, Winchester, Sundown and feeder roads) tomorrow, or Monday, depending on conditions and further forecast information.

Sanding truck has been called to sand Woodchuck from frontage road to Winchester. It will be after 10 AM before he can be here and begin. With dropping temps and snow forecasted to begin later today we will not be sanding any more roads.

Notice to follow on where and when snow plowing will begin.

We have a drive train problem on the grader which is not allowing the operator, Brian, to lock the rear differential, meaning that only one side of the rear tandem wheels is driving the grader. This makes it very difficult to move the snow, especially when moving up hill, and slows the whole process. A mechanic who is knowledgeable of Champion graders and has a parts supply source is working on the problem. If his diagnosis is correct we expect to have the parts and the repair made early next week.
In the meantime we have 3 main roads which need plowing, Peak, Winchester, and Sundown. and a forecast for additional snow starting Friday, continuing into Sunday. Given this situation, assuming forecast is somewhat correct, and not wanting to plow roads twice, we plan to starting plowing on the east side – Woodchuck, HR, Peak, Clear Springs on Saturday PM, and continue on the west side – Colt, Winchester, Sundown, and feeder roads, likely late Sunday.

High Ridge has been plowed but upper Woodchuck has been extremely difficult with the wind packed drifts. Plowing will resume tomorrow on Woodchuck and then move to Peak

I was hoping we could hold off plowing until after the new snow forecasted for Fri/Sat, but the winds have drifted in the high open areas. Brian will begin plowing the High Ridge, Peak and upper Woodchuck later today.

The snow wing on the grader broke late yesterday. Mechanics are working to disable the snow wing and lock it in place so that Brian can resume plowing tomorrow. This is a temporary fix.

Snow plowing will begin on the west side – lower Woodchuck, Winchester, Sundown, Colt and secondary roads, of TC tomorrow morning.
Again, do not call Brian, if you have any issues with the process and clearing the roads, call Ray at 586 2186
