The City of Columbia Public Works crews will partake in its annual dry snow run on Thursday, according to a Wednesday press release from the city.

Crews will review safety procedures and rehears snow routes for the upcoming winter season.

The release states a majority of the participants of the exercise will leave between 9:30-10 a.m. from the Grissum Building on 1313 Lakeview Ave., the “central hub” for snow operations.
