And while we&#8217;re tempted to put the equipment to work, graders don&#8217;t have the desired effect on mushy, saturated dirt roads. We also know that more snow is in the forecast (it is, after all, only March).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Please be PATIENT with our crews and KIND to our foremen as they evaluate weather patterns and work around storms.
