Plant Snow and Ice Service in Roy: What It Involves
A plant has more than a parking lot. Trucks need clear approaches, docks and gate lanes. Employees need safe walks from the lot to the door. We plow the main lanes first, then work the dock aprons, then hand-clear entries and sidewalks.
Roy's pattern is mostly ice, not deep snow. There are 42 freezing nights from October to April, and about 3.45 light-snow days a year that need deicing. A dusting on a cold night can leave a slick lot at the start of a shift. Salt or ice melt is often the right tool, more than a plow.
Big storms do happen. Near Roy, a spotter at 2 NE Yelm measured 11 in on Feb 13, 2021, after 7 in at Yelm the day before. Since 2005 there have been 11 winter storm and heavy snow reports. A site with no plan can be stuck in that kind of event.
