3647.0. "ZKO Access road icing up" by RUSURE::MELVIN (Ten Zero, Eleven Zero Zero by Zero 2) Fri Feb 14 1997 16:37

for ZKO, just as an FYI:

The section of the access road from the light at the bottom of the hill and
Spitbrook road is icing up (obivously :-)).  A number of cars were busy
spinning tires trying to get up that section (and also out of the side road
there at the light).  The commute later might be slightly more horrendous.

	Is this not about the 4th or 5th Friday afternoon that the
	road hasn't been sanded and treated till AFTER we all go
	home?

	For such a winding road, it gets very little treatment
	till after the fact. You'd think with the number of spinouts
	and cars in the ditches each winter Digital would be 
	doing something about it.

    I just spoke with Jim Dirico, the facilities manager, who said I can
    quote him.  He said there are people out there right now sanding; the
    current weather conditions are rain over top of snow.  This means
    icing, because the rain freezes the minute it hits the snow and
    consequently the ice covers up the sand.  Jim also said there will be
    people out there between 4 and 5 o'clock plowing.  They are doing the
    best they can.

    Well, I left here ~5:40 Friday night, and didn't have any trouble at
    all.
