Wondering when your county road will be cleared?
Saline County’s fleet of snowplows—including Betty Whiteout, Scoop Dogg, and Darth Blader—is already hard at work tackling the 8+ inches of snow that’s fallen. You can track their progress in real-time through the Snow Paths portal, where you’ll see live plow locations, priority routes, and updates on snow removal operations.
As a reminder, Saline County’s snow removal efforts prioritize paved roads first, followed by gravel roads, and finally all other roads. Plowing begins once two inches of snow have accumulated and snowfall is ongoing. If conditions are icy, crews will spot-treat icy sections on paved roads only. During blizzard conditions or heavy snowfall, operations may pause temporarily until it’s safe for crews to resume.
Residents can help by:
Driving only if necessary to keep roads clear for snowplows
Parking off roadways to allow plows to pass
Avoiding obstructing or stopping plows as they work
