FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   SNOW UPDATE FROM DENVER PUBLIC WORKS
DENVER, CO ­— Saturday, November 10, 2012- A strong cold front has moved in today, but forecasts aren’t currently calling for much snowfall in Denver. We’ll likely see pulses of snow/rain come through Denver today and into tonight. Temperatures tonight will likely drop into the upper teens and lower 20s resulting in minor ice and snow accumulations if snow does indeed develop this evening and overnight.    Initial warm pavement temperatures will facilitate snow melt on the roadway today. However, as temperatures continue to drop, roadways may become icy and Public Works crews will apply de-icing materials as needed, paying special attention to elevated structures. Crews will monitor road conditions throughout today and tonight, and will address any issues as needed.   Now is a great time to make a plan to help a neighbor BEFORE snow really starts to hit the Denver area! Residents can sign up to be a “Snow Buddy” and volunteer to help an elderly neighbor shovel their walks. More information on the Snow Buddy program is available here: http://www.voacolorado.org/Volunteer/Snow-Buddies.    Visit our website, www.DenverSnowPlan.com, for more detailed information on snow removal. During snowfall, we update the website in real time to reflect current conditions and our strategies. Also, follow Denver Public Works on Twitter (@DenPublicWorks) for real time updates. ###
