The City of Rio Rancho is prepared for the next Snowstorm.

The City of Rio Rancho is prepared for the next Snowstorm.

During the December winter storms, the City of Rio Rancho, NM failed its residents due to poor planning. Apparently the city did not have the necessary snow removal equipment to clear the roads, so it basically went for days under lockdown. Schools, local government, and businesses alike were closed for days.

Considering the fact that Rio Rancho gets more snowfall than Albuquerque, it seems strange that the city did not have the snow removal equipment. Albuquerque roads were cleared be the next day. In response to the loud public outcry, the city has invested about $100,000 to retrofit more vehicles, and to buy the necessary equipment to clear the street for future snowstorms

Good Luck to t residents of Rio Rancho.
