Episode 147: The Georgia DOT Snow School

from Talkin Winter Ops Hosted by RJNelson, Emily Fish, Mitch Garmon

No matter where you live or where you operate, people have come to expect that they can get where they need to go, whenever they need to go. And while snow and ice may be more common up north, winter weather isn't just a northern problem. States in the South don't deal with winter storms nearly as often, so building and maintaining a strong snow and ice program takes a little different approach. About this time last year, Emily Fish, Assistant State Maintenance Engineer for Emergency Operations with the Georgia DOT, mentioned they were launching snow school to help get maintenance crews ready for winter weather. It's time to check in with Emily and welcome Mitch Garmon, Maintenance Liaison in Emergency Operations, to the conversation to hear how things are going, what they've learned over the past year, and how Georgia DOT continues to build its winter operations capabilities.
