OSM Public Works Update - Early Winter Storm

OSM Public Works is aware of the potential early winter storm forecast to impact our area on Sunday, November 9, 2025.  

As the gravel roads are still very soft, we will not be able to clear the roads using plows as we would typically.

We will be sanding/salting but are asking that residents take extra time and drive according to the conditions of the road.
