City crews plowed 42.24 million cubic feet of snow after last week’s historic snow storm, an official said Tuesday.
Interim director of public works Wyatt Thompson said at the city commission meeting that officials figured if the snow was 16 inches deep, the snow they plowed between Jan. 4 and Jan. 9 could have filled City Park Pool 468 times. That amount of snow also could have filled 12,500 train cars or filled Bill Snyder Family Stadium 400 feet deep.
Thompson said public works had 31 operations team members who were able to mobilize quickly.
“We had a couple members of our traffic team, as well as six members of the public utilities department who joined us,” he said. “We had 21 pieces of equipment out on the streets 24 hours a day, from midday on the fourth until midday on the ninth.”
