Snow removal                                                                                                                                                                                                            To aid snowplows in clearing roads, residents are urged where possible to park vehicles in driveways or off-road. During a snowstorm, crews try to keep all main County roads and emergency routes clear, ensuring that, in an emergency, every household is within a half-mile of a cleared road. Only once the snow stops, do crews begin plowing neighborhood roads. Follow plowing progress on the County’s snowmap at www.montgomerycountymd.gov/snowmap.
