It is January in Iowa, and snow is a fact of life. Some people love snow; some people hate snow, but we all have to deal with the snow when it comes.
There are two types of snow: Snow that falls on public property, and snow that falls on private property. For the snow that falls on public property, it is the responsibility of the city of Algona Department of Public Works to push the snow from the traveled portions of streets and alleys and then salt or sand as needed for safety.
