INITIAL STORY:
Carson City Public Works has been using all plow equipment at maximum capacity since the storm began, after midnight. At this time, crews are managing the primary routes and will move to the secondary routes after. Plowing operations will continue as necessary.
Please drive slowly and leave extra time for travel. If traveling please stay back at least 100 feet and avoid passing the plow. Be aware of the plow wing as it discharges heavy amounts of snow.
Additionally, keep in mind that visibility is narrow for our plow drivers. If you are plowing private properties, please avoid piling snow into the right of way.
Please use extreme caution when approaching intersections with traffic lights as blowing snow has covered the Carson City area traffic signals, which has affected the visibility of the signals. Motorists are encouraged to slow down and watch for other vehicles. Limit your travel whenever possible.
