We regret to inform you that the weather has once again decided to be overly dramatic.

High winds are on the way, making this our third weather event in less than two weeks. Some of you haven't even put away your ice scrapers from the last one. Honestly? Keep them handy. Stick with what works at this point.

Our crews are prepared. You should be, too. Move anything that can blow away... including yourself, preferably indoors. And remember, all official updates regarding road conditions, including road and bridge closures, will be posted here.

This one may be the most challenging one for our crews yet, but, rest assured, they ll be here when we need them, ready to do what needs to be done to keep everyone safe.We regret to inform you that the weather has once again decided to be overly dramatic.

DECEMBER 7, 2025, 11:00 AM UPDATE:

Our crews have completed work in residential neighborhoods and are currently moving through alleys. While roads are not down to bare pavement, they are traversable. All roads have been hit.

With two significant snowfalls occurring so close together, Public Works made the operational decision to send our regular pickup trucks equipped with plows into areas where larger equipment could not safely maneuver due to vehicles parked too tightly on both sides of the street. As a result, some streets may not be as clear as we'd like - but they are passable. Again, this is not our standard practice and will not happen every time it snows; it was a temporary adjustment to deal with these back-to-back storms and the number of vehicles parked along narrow streets.

Unfortunately, some challenges are being created by vehicles left on the street during the snow and by residents and contractors pushing or blowing snow back into the roadway. These actions significantly reduce the effectiveness of plowing efforts. When clearing your driveway or sidewalk, keep all snow on your own property-pile it in your yard, along the side of your driveway, or near your property line, and never in the street, alley, sidewalk, or on someone else's property.

Once crews finish alleys and cul-de-sacs, they will transition to downtown lots. Crews will also be in early tomorrow morning to hit emergency routes and the areas around all Fort Dodge schools. We are prepared to bring staff back in later today if conditions require it, but the goal is to give our team a much-deserved few hours to rest and decompress before the next round of work begins.

Please use caution and practice safe winter driving if you must be out today. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue to work through this active weather pattern.DECEMBER 7, 2025, 11:00 AM UPDATE:
