GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) Temperatures warming and that’s giving Green Bay Public Works a chance to do catch-up street plowing in some neighborhoods.
Those streets have been ice and snow covered since the winter storm that rolled through two weeks ago.
“The bond between the ice and the pavement, and the snow and the pavement, is very strong.”
Chris Pirlot, with Green Bay Public Works, says in the extreme cold that hung over the area for more than a week salt and chemical treatments are basically useless.
“It’s very difficult, even with a road grader that can put some down pressure, to clear that off the streets.”
The main roads have been getting most of the clean-up attention. That’s because the extreme amount of traffic on those roads demanded around the clock attention.
Pirlot says that will change over the next few days as plows and a dozen road graders go to work to break up and move the ice.
