Don’t strike out; sign up today! ogdenrecreation.com Snow and ice control procedures throughout Ogden Ogden City snow plow crews clear snow from priority roads first. Priority roads include those around hospitals, schools, main intersections, and on hills. The goal is to have all roads cleared within 15 hours, though sometimes this is not met when a storm is prolonged, or other unusual weather conditions exist. Other streets such as residential areas and dead-end streets are cleared when conditions allow. Salt is generally applied on hills and at intersections, and works when temperatures are above 15 degrees. Snow plowing begins as soon as roads begin to get slippery, or sometimes earlier if a continuous storm is predicted. State routes are not, and cannot, be plowed by Ogden City. The state roads in Ogden are Washington Blvd, Harrison Blvd from the South Ogden border north to 12th Street, all of 12th Street, Wall Ave, 30th Street West of Harrison, 31st Street West of Washington Blvd, 24th Street West of Washington Blvd, 20th Street, and 21st Street West of Wall Ave. To report issues with State routes, contact Utah Department of Transportation at [PHONE REDACTED] or use the UDOT Click ‘n Fix app. Follow these strategies to stay safe on the roads: Don’t forget, residents are responsible for clearing their driveways and sidewalks. Park all vehicles, trailers, and boats off the streets until snow is removed. Push snow rolled into your driveway by snow plows onto the park strip intead of back out into the street or gutter. Give snowplow vehicles plenty of room. Do not follow too closely—equipment could slide sideways or backward at any time, and snowplows are often spreading salt behind. Don’t pass snow plows if you can avoid it. Simply slow down, give them a lot of space, and allow snow plow drivers to help make the roads safer for all of us.

Sign up for spring recreation ---PAGE BREAK--- Published by Ogden City I Volume 24 Number 2 Prevent frozen pipes Follow these tips from Ogden City Water Utility to prevent frozen pipes in your home. • Open cupboard doors at night when temperatures drop below freezing so warm air circulates around pipes and plumbing parts. • Keep the thermostat high enough to prevent pipes from freezing, even if you plan to be away from home for an extended period of time. • During extreme temperatures, or if you have pipes that have a history of freezing, allow a faucet to drip. The faucet farthest from the street should be the one left open and the stream should be no larger than the size of a spaghetti noodle. If it stops dripping, this means it has frozen. Leave the faucet open until thawed to relieve pressure on the lines. • As temperatures rise, frozen pipes will thaw. You may try a space heater or blow dryer on frozen pipes to speed the thawing, but do not use an open flame or boiling water. • Locate the main water valve in your home so you can turn it off in case of a line break or emergency.

Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle and include blankets, coats, boots, a shovel, and road salt. Winter storms can bring snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Are you prepared?
