How Parking Lot Snow Removal Works in Roy, WA
Roy sees only 1.8 days a year with 1 in or more of snow. The bigger routine problem is ice. There are 42 freezing nights between October and April, and about 3.45 light-snow days a year that need deicing. A light dusting can leave a slick lot even when there is nothing to plow.
