City Of Minnetonka: Plowing Underway Across The City

Press release from the City of Minnetonka:

12/10/2021 4:42 p.m.

Bands of heavier snow are forecast to develop across southern Minnesota into west central Wisconsin as a winter storm moves across the region. Minnetonka had already reported 2 inches of snow by early Friday evening with up to a half foot possible by the time the storm passes.

The National Weather Service has advised travelers to be prepared for snow covered roads, low visibility, and travel impacts. Minnetonka city public works crews began treating and plowing roads late Friday afternoon. Citywide plowing will resume overnight once the bulk of the storm has passed.

Citywide snow removal occurs with two or more inches of snow accumulation. Bare pavement is not the goal of city snow removal efforts. Roads are cleared and then treated to promote melting of any remaining snow.

Plows are also dispatched for lighter snowfalls to ensure the main roads are free of snow and ice.
