City public works departments have prepared for snow and now have to wait until flakes to fall."Weather is something we can't predict and we have to play it the way it's dealt to us, and again, relax and have a good Thanksgiving," Portland Public Services Director Michael Bobinsky said.In Auburn, 22 plows stood ready to salt and plow more than 560 miles of roads in the city. A Thanksgiving snowstorm means crews will be paid double for their holiday work, but their strategy is no different."It doesn't really change our approach. We'll be on our major thoroughfares and we have some major arterials. We tend to hit more than the side streets and that will continue. We'll just try to make it safe for people to get where they're going," said Deputy Director of Public Services Dan Goyette said.But delays can happen anywhere."We'll keep those runways open and coming in. I think, if there are any problems it's going to be in the down line cities in the snow belt before us," said Gregory Hughes, marketing manager for the Portland Jetport.But along with remaining vigilant about keeping roads clear, Bobinsky also had drivers in mind."It's been a nice long, spring, summer and fall. This will be a test in many ways for all motorists, so caution is highly encouraged," he said.
