Denver's first snow storm is near— and the City is prepared, snow plows and all.
DENVER — Denver has its snow plows and drivers ready for whatever Mother Nature drops as the city prepares for its first storm of the season.
."The forecast is varying pretty widely between two inches seven inches. We’ve got warm pavement temperatures so some of that may melt first. So either way, we’ve got the trucks, we’ve got the people, we’ve got the material and they’ll be able to address whatever comes our way this time around."Overnight, they'll bring in about 20 plow drivers to keep an eye on conditions, treating bridges and overpasses that might need their attention.
“It certainly can be, if the roads are backed up or if there are accidents, it can be difficult for people to get here,” Bridges said. Still, with the first snow in sight, Bridges says emergency departments are staffing up to handle the uptick in traffic.
