The first snowfall for the season, with several inches of snow in the forecast, is expected tomorrow night into Saturday.

Anti-icing of the roadways in Roselle typically begins before a snowfall, with the application of brine, a liquid anti-icing salt solution. Rows of white, chalky lines are created on the roads during the brine application process. The brine application provides additional time before the snow and ice begin to build up on the pavement. Brine is not applied to the streets if rain is predicted before the snow, as it would be washed off the pavement before becoming effective.

Once the snow starts falling, Public Works typically begins plowing operations after two inches of snow has fallen, or sooner if road condition reports indicate the need. Residents may report winter road conditions in need of attention to Roselle Public Works by using the Snow Plow Condition Report Form on the Village's website.
