OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Where there's snow, there are snow plows. No doubt you'll be seeing both over these next few days.

With a storm like this, it's all hands on deck for road crews that work to keep streets clear and preparation is already underway.

Omaha Public Works is planning to keep their crews focused on main routes throughout town while contracting out the work to plow side streets.

"Once we have two inches of snow on the ground we'll send the contractors out to start hitting neighborhood and residential streets," said Austin Roswer with Omaha Public Works. "Our contractors will go through and plow neighborhoods, then we'll move into those neighborhoods and we'll put the salt down."

Crews are going to be clearing miles and miles of roadways and they ask you to make sure to give them plenty of room should you need to be out in this.
