(Des Moines, IA) -- It's the time of the year when city crews make the switch over from filling potholes and other road work, to putting snow plows on trucks. Des Moines Public Works Deputy Director Adam Smith says one of the weather prediction services they use is calling for a chance of snow early next week. He says even if the chance of snow is minimal they need some lead time to get their 100 pieces of equipment ready in the event of a bigger snowstorm.
Des Moines snowplow operators have a big job during a snow event, clearing snow from more than 2,000 miles of city streets
