What Municipal Snow Removal Involves in Roy, WA
Municipal work is about keeping public access open. At a site like Roy City Hall or the Roy Post Office, that means plowed parking areas, cleared walks and entries, and treated surfaces where people walk and drive.
Roy does not see much snow in a typical year. Average snowfall is 6.2 in per season, and only 1.8 days a year bring 1 in or more. But storms can be sharp. There have been 11 winter storm and heavy snow reports since 2005, and the biggest single day was 8.3 in. In February 2021, spotters near Roy reported 4 in at 2 E Yelm on Feb 11, 7 in at Yelm on Feb 12, and 11 in at 2 NE Yelm on Feb 13.
Ice is the more regular problem. Roy has 42 freezing nights between October and April, and about 3.45 light-snow days a year that need deicing. A thin layer on a walkway can matter as much as a deep drift.
