new text end

new text begin The month of January of each year is designated as Snow Professionals Appreciation
Month in recognition of the state's desire to honor, recognize, and celebrate the contributions
of snow professionals. Minnesota has thousands of private and public snow professionals
who work tirelessly in winter months to clear snow; keep streets, sidewalks, and recreational
paths safe; plow thousands of miles of roads; and manage ice with salt and sand application.
Snow professionals monitor winter weather and track storms to dispatch appropriate snow
removal crews and equipment. Professional snow services range from small residential
shoveling services to large commercial plowing and deicing for businesses. Snow removal
services represent a significant part of Minnesota's winter economy. The state declares that
in order to educate the public, the governor may promote and encourage the observance of
Snow Professionals Appreciation Month.
