For all of you hoping for a snow day today (and I’m married to a teacher, so I know that’s not just kids): Sorry.
South Milwaukee Schools are open today, despite the snow. That’s according to the district website.
Meanwhile, some area districts are closed today, including Milwaukee, Oak Creek-Franklin, Franklin, Whitnall, Wauwatosa and West Allis-West Milwaukee. Others are apparently open, at least as of 6:15 a.m., including Cudahy and St. Francis. Divine Mercy also appears to be open.
Here are Milwaukee County school closings.
And I got this message from Dan at the Street Department this morning …
We started salting yesterday afternoon and by 5 we started plowing. Last night at midnight we went to a 5 area plow/salt operation. Right now for today we will have a 4 area plow/salt with alleys being cleaned up as well. Garbage collection will be picked up today as well. We also have 3 front end loaders out cleaning up cul de sac’s and bus stops, corners, municipal lots etc. Today we will also have a city sidewalk crew out as well.

For some reason the snow plows only make 1 lane available in our subdivision and never come back.
I have a question that maybe someone on here has an answer to or could get an answer. I often times see the plows going in groups of 2, which I understand is to clear the in one pass, or atleast a much larger swath than one can make, but the part I don’t understand is it seems that more times than not one truck is plowing and putting salt down and one is just plowing. Now which one should go first? To me it seems the plow truck should go first and the salt/plow truck should go behind, but I always see the salt truck first and then the second truck basically just plows all the salt up that was just put down. Can anyone enlighten me?
