Sioux Falls Street Crews Prepare For Weekend Snow Storm
On my way to work this morning (1/22), I noticed those familiar whiteish-grey streaks on 57th Street. They are brine-salt trails laid down by the City of Sioux Falls street crews.
According to meteorologist Tyler Roney at Dakota News Now, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the City of Sioux Falls and the surrounding area. Up to 5 inches possible before the storm moves out on Saturday night.
That advisory has prompted the city to send out a preemptive strike against the impending snowstorm by laying down salt brine as an anti-icing & snowpack measure in preparation for the snowfall.
Will You Play in the Snow This Weekend?
If the only travel plans for your weekend include a trip to Great Bear Ski Valley for FunSki then you won t be disappointed. The National Weather Service is tracking the next system that will bring snow Saturday and Sunday. If your travel plans include a trip to the Black Hills for skiing or snowmobiling then the interstate should be fine.
According to the National Weather Service, the areas expected to see the greatest chance for snow will be through the east-central part of South Dakota into Minnesota and Wisconsin. Anyone north of I-90 may be driving in the heaviest amount of snow. Meteorologist Tyler Roney of the First Alert Weather Team at Dakota News Now, has posted this:
