Rockland was enveloped in a blanket of snow this past weekend, leaving grocery stores raided, roads icy, and an abundance of snowmen in its wake. The RCT reached out to departments around Rockland to give our readers the inside scoop as to how the County of Rockland handles intense weather events such as these. Most of the Rockland County Highway roads are main roads, however they stated that the roads with the most volume or those that have large commercial areas were prioritized. For most snowstorms, this protocol is followed: there is anti-icing with salt brine prior to any anticipated snow fall, then salting the roads once the snow begins to fall. Due to the amount of snow, snow removal may take a while and will most likely take the rest of the week and then some to complete.
