new text end

new text begin

The month of January of each year is designated as Snow Professionals Appreciation

Month in recognition of the state's desire to honor, recognize, and celebrate the contributions

of snow professionals. Minnesota has thousands of snow professionals who work tirelessly

in winter months to clear snow; keep streets, sidewalks, and recreational paths safe; plow

thousands of miles of roads; and manage ice with salt and sand application. Snow

professionals monitor winter weather and track storms to dispatch appropriate snow removal

crews and equipment. Professional snow services range from small residential shoveling

services to large commercial plowing and deicing for businesses. Snow removal services

represent a significant part of Minnesota's winter economy. The state declares that in order

to educate the public, the governor may promote and encourage the observance of Snow

Professionals Appreciation Month.
