It is cost prohibitive to sand every inch of every street. <br />temperature determines the effectiveness of a salt/sand mixture, sanding will not be done on <br />ex~mely cold days except in emergency situations. <br /> <br />Procedure: <br /> <br />Some of the main intersections along.State and County roads are sanded as they are plow~rl. <br />Others are sanded after ail roads are cleared of snow, as the sand is needed for ballast on 5~:e <br />trucks.
