Here’s the latest update from the head of the Streets Department . . .
We were supposed to get less than 1/2″ of snow today. It continued to develop and dropped closer to 1.5″. This snow coupled with the close to 2″ on Thursday and Thursday night and the snow from earlier in the week has made many of our residential streets in need of plowing.
We will be plowing all residential streets this evening and finish through the overnight. I will not declare a snow emergency.
Here’s the snow trivia from Friday’s update:
Since Dec. 1st – It has snowed on 34 out of 63 days or 54% of the days.
Normal snow for winter season – 48.8″
Snow totals so far this winter season – 58.4″
Madison’s record winter snowfall – 1978-1979 – 76.1″
We are less than 18″ from setting the all time record with all of February, March and into April yet to go
