 This week, the Mountain Arts Center was full of bright yellow shirts as Highway District 12 employees gathered to talk about winter weather. Well, every year to kick off our snow and ice season, we have training in early October and we get all of our employees together. We try to start instilling the mindset that winter is on its way and we talk about our activities and just try to prepare everyone to get ready. And then after today, we'll actually start preparation on our equipment. We'll formalize that, we'll install all of our snow and ice equipment, we'll test it, make sure it's working properly, make repairs and then we calibrate it so that when November, the first Friday in November comes, that's our official snow and ice season that we're ready to go for whatever winter brings.
