Snow Removal TipsWHAT TO DO WITH ALL THAT SNOW?
As we deal with our heaviest snow season, it’s important to know where you can -- and can not move the snow when you clear your property. Marathon County ordinance states that it is illegal to push your snow across the road when clearing your driveway. Pushing snow across the road creates a road hazard for all drivers, including Village and County plows. Frozen windrows — the small piles of snow left behind after plowing — can freeze solid and catch a plow blade causing it to swing back into the truck. This can cause damage to the blade and the truck, and potentially cause serious injury to the driver. These windrows are also a hazard to cars and trucks. A driver can easily lose control and crash if they unexpectedly encounter a frozen windrow. This winter please keep your plowed snow on your side of the road and help ensure everyone’s safety. The Highway Department and U.S. Postal Service also encourage the removal of snow near mailboxes to help facilitate the safe and convenient delivery of mail, reduce potential conflicts between mail delivery vehicles and the traveling public, and reduce the possibility of damaged mailboxes resulting from repeated snow-plowing and pushing of snow toward the mailbox.

Sawyer is a fan of Governor Evers and had some questions for him. It didn't quite work out the way Sawyer hoped that evening and he was disappointed.
See how a tweet from Mayor Katie Rosenberg ultimately led to a special virtual meeting with the Governor and the Village of Maine Elementary School kindergarteners where Sawyer had the opportunity to get his questions answered.
