DENVER (KDVR) – Big plows will hit the main streets of Denver if the enough snow falls this weekend, the city announced on Wednesday. Plows will be arriving Thursday night, ready to work through the storm.

Residential plows will tackle the side streets and heavy equipment will be used to move drifting snow, if needed.

Residential plows will be ready for the first accumulation on Friday, working through the weekend storm. Side streets will be plowed down the center of the street.

What can residents do for the storm?

  • Don’t drive if you don’t have to
  • Park off-street if you can
  • Help your neighbors, especially those who aren’t able to shovel snow
  • Contact the Snow Angel program if you need help
