Snow removal in the City of Morgantown will follow much of the same process as previous years. As with past years, cinders will not be used as an abrasive on City maintained streets. We will continue to use the same plan for priority treatment and plowing. 

We will once again be using rock salt as an abrasive agent. We will also be using a brine solution, both as a pre-treatment and as a wetting agent for the abrasive material.

Prior to a winter weather event, brine is sprayed onto City Streets to reduce the snows ability to stick to the road surface. As snow begins to accumiliate on roads, street plowing is performed in a specific order to ensure that emergency services can get into all neighborhoods by main roads. These roads are the top priority, as time and conditions determine, other side roads will be cleared throughout neighborhoods based on the amount of traffic flow on streets.


Shoveling Driveway Tip
Shown below is a diagram of the City’s driveway plowing policies. Abiding by the following guidelines will help make the snow removal process easier, safer, and more effective for all:

Snow should be plowed or shoveled to the right side of the driveway as you are facing the intersecting roadway. By being plowed away from the direction of oncoming snowplows, this action will prevent the bulk of the snow from being pushed back into the driveway. Eliminate snow piles at the driveway entrance, whenever possible. High accumulations of snow will obstruct the vision of motorists when exiting from the driveway and hinder the ability of oncoming motorists to see you pulling out of the driveway, creating another potential for accidents. Do not push snow out onto roads at anytime. This creates hazardous driving conditions for all vehicles.
