At the end of the year we love to look back at some of our favorite moments! Here's some of our favorite moments from #Show4Snow, what are yours?

Perfect conditions for black ice this morning. 40 degree air temp but roads in the hill towns are still below freezing. Take it slow for a little while. @WX1BOX @NWSBoston @MassWeatherNet

Road conditions in the hill towns at 0530 this morning. Take it slow out there. @WX1BOX @MassWeatherNet #dontcrowdtheplow

@WX1BOX @MassWeatherNet Had a little light sleet about 6:30 now all rain. Close to 3” total snow. Ground/road temps are below freezing so could be slippery.

2” so far at 5:00pm in Heath. No end in sight. @WX1BOX @MassWeatherNet

Today we kicked off the winter maintenance season with All About Liquids in Williamstown. At the end of the class we were able to calibrate a direct liquid application vehicle. It’s not easy to think about snow and ice when it’s 75 and sunny but we did it!

James, from the Westminster Department of Public Works, got a perfect score today during the 2-day Chainsaw Skills and Safety class! He won a pair of high-viz chaps for that perfect score. Strong work James!

Another great video from @MassDCR.
So be careful during the upcoming winter weather in the next few days and remember, "salt smarter, not harder!"

It was a cold day for chainsaw training with Andover Conservation @AndoverMaGov a few hearty souls were brave enough to come out in 16 degree weather for chainsaw safety. Training was done at the Bald Hill Reservation. #chainsawtraining #chainsawsafety

Baystate roads hits the road early to bring quality training all over the state. Today we are in Royalston with Grader Operator training. Can you make the cut?!

@baystateroads It’s always great to work with @CambridgeDPW

[Baystate Roads Team @baystateroads]

Yesterday, @sawman268 was in Cambridge for a Snow and Ice workshop. Cambridge has made huge improvements in their snow and ice operations over the past few years and they continue to work on improvements. Shown are their brine facilities.

@kdonnnn Remember, you have concord all of you battles up to this point. Keep that up. Stay strong for 30 seconds. Then for a minute. Then for an hour. The only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time, no matter how hard it is to chew.
