Snow & Plowing

1. - A device that maintains plow height to avoid hitting obstructions on the surface.
3. - Precipitation in the form of ice crystals.
4. - Salt (sodium chloride) dissolved in water and then sprayed onto pavement prior to a snow or ice event as a proactive measure to avoid ice from bonding to the pavement.
5. - New fallen snow or wind-blown snow that covers a roadway, sidewalk or pathway.
10. - A material to melt snow and ice such as sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, and potassium chloride in either solid or solution form.
11. - The actual face of the plow.
12. - A type of attachment added to a straight blade plow on one or both sides, providing more surface area for snow carrying capacity and minimizing loss.
13. - A storm that contains large amounts of snow or blowing snow, with winds for an extended period of time.
15. - The act of moving, clearing, or manipulating snow or other winter precipitation using a snowplow.
16. - A piece of equipment designed to physically move snow and ice.
18. - Determining a precise measurement of the material output of a given deicer spreading/spraying unit under different settings and vehicle speeds.
19. - A team of laborers tasked with clearing snow and ice from sidewalks, using shovels, deicing, and plowing equipment.
20. - A measure of the coldness or warmth at a specific time and location expressed in either Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C) degrees.

2. - The application of an abrasive (typically sand) in an attempt to temporarily mitigate slick conditions.
3. - The process of creating a large pile of snow for temporary staging.
6. - The act of changing the freeze point of water to temperatures below 0°C through deicing chemical application.
7. - This is the feed system on a aggregate spreader that moves material from the hopper down to the spinner.
8. - The act of snow removal and transporting snow and other winter precipitation accumulations from a site to another offsite location for storage.
9. - A row or line of snow or other winter precipitation plowed together for the purpose of clearing.
10. – A permanent location for piling, stacking or storage of snow until natural melting occurs.
14. – Delivers anti-ice chemicals to larger areas such as parking lots or driveways.
17. - A device that delivers large quantities of snow and ice removal chemicals to long stretches of road or larger parking lots.
