What Sidewalk Snow Removal Involves in Roy, WA
Roy sees few days of deep snow. Only 1.8 days a year bring 1 in or more, and just 1.1 days a year stay below freezing all day. Freezing nights are more common, with 42 between October and April. That mix matters for sidewalks. Light snow can melt by afternoon, then refreeze after dark and leave a glaze on the concrete.
