How long does it take to plow all the streets and alleys in Hopkins?

Under a snowfall of 3 to 5 inches, if a snow emergency is called, and all equipment and personnel are dispatched, we can finish plowing and salting operations in 8 hours. It doesn’t take that much less time to do if there is less snow as we still have to drive all the streets and alleys. It takes more time to remove deeper snow.
