How Municipal Deicing Works in Roy, WA
Municipal deicing is about keeping public entrances, walks and parking areas from turning to ice. At a site like Roy City Hall or the Roy Post Office, that means the doors, ramps, sidewalks and the lot where visitors park.
Roy does not get much snow. The average is 6.2 in per season, and only 1.8 days a year bring 1 in or more. Snow is on the ground about 4 days a year. The bigger issue is cold. Roy sees 42 freezing nights from October to April, and wet pavement can refreeze before morning. Winter Weather Advisories average 3.38 a year. Logged heavy snow events include Feb 8, 2019, Feb 5, 2017 and Jan 18, 2012.
Because of that pattern, most visits are about ice control rather than deep plowing. Here is what a dispatch can include:

- Bagged ice melt, $45 / 50 lb bag
