Spencer, Iowa (NorthwestIowaNow.com) — Winter weather can cause some stress, but it’s reassuring to know Spencer is ready for whatever winter gives us. Mark White, Public Utilities Director for Spencer.

White says deciding when to plow takes a few things into account.

Plows will hit the streets earlier this year after an overnight snow.

The City of Spencer is responsible for over 100 road miles and 8 gravel miles.
