During winter storms, Town of Natick crews begin treating streets when freezing precipitation starts, and plowing typically begins once about 2 inches of snow have accumulated and more is expected. Major roadways and emergency routes are cleared first, followed by neighborhood streets, school properties, municipal lots, and then sidewalks. Snow operations continue around the clock until travel conditions are safe across the Town’s 160 roadway "lane miles" and approximately 46 "sidewalk miles" of Town-managed sidewalks (about 32% of total sidewalk miles).
