Gaithersburg Snow Road-eo, October 1st

 

To help Public Works road crews prepare for the upcoming winter season, a friendly, team-building Snow Road-eo will take place at the Activity Center at Bohrer Park on Wednesday, October 1 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Two-man teams made up of a snow plow driver and navigator will participate in timed events that include pre-trip truck inspections and an obstacle course. Teams must negotiate their way through nine stations along a plotted route, competing for prizes and bragging rights.

 

During a weather event, 65 people and 40 pieces of equipment descend upon more than 85 miles of City streets to ensure that roadways are made passable as quickly as possible. Click here to learn more about snow removal operations and how you can help.

For out of the area readers, the City of Gaithersburg is located in the heart of Montgomery County, Maryland in the north western suburbs of Washington, DC.

Roy ....It's hard to believe that it's almost time for the snow to start flying!

Have a great day in MD!

Roy, It's a bit difficult for many to think about snow when you are still seeing temperatures in the high 70s.  I for one, love the much cooler weather.

Thanks so much for your comments. It takes some practice for the snow plow drivers to operate without causing damage.

Hi there Roy. Sounds like a good Road-eo to have in advance of the ice and snow you expect this winter. Hope you're having a great Monday. D

Roy: It won't be long before these trucks are keeping the roads clear. I hope the snow holds out a bit longer for you.

Hi Roy.  That sounds like it should be a fun event to get the drivers readt and motivated about the upcoming winter season.    As far as me, I'm still wanting to hang onto summer and fall for as long as possible.

Ahhhh, Roy, the subject of Winter ~  Maybe some day I will want to discuss it again, however, after last winter, I am not ready yet. So happy, our office is in Orlando, Florida. You know Roy, winter in Florida is usually so pleasant - just a light sweater in the evenings. B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l.  In addition, we have flower-blooming gardens throughout the year. This Christmas week, many of us from our family are spending the seven days in a large rental on the beach in the Florida Keys.

Sounds like an interesting event.

Let it snow at night . . . . and melt by morning.

Good luck and success.
