Hilliard Snow Warriors Prepare for Winter Weather | City of Hilliard
You may be in luck if you’re hoping for a white Christmas in Hilliard! Local weather forecasters are calling for snow, brutal cold, and high winds starting Thursday.
Whether Central Ohio gets hit with the storm or not, Hilliard’s snow warriors are prepared for the first snow event of the season.
City of Hilliard Operations Administrator Dave Judson says crews will begin salting roads on Thursday evening and continue working in 12-hour shifts until the storm ends.
“With the expected rain and 40-degree temperature drop, our main focus will be addressing the ice, but we’re ready for it all,” Judson said.

Priority 1Major arteries are salted and plowed first. These streets will continue to receive treatment as long as weather conditions continue.Priority 2Minor arterials include the Main connecting roads and roads through subdivisions.

These are generally not included in salt routes.Priority 4Cul-de-sacs, courts, and non-through streets and alleys paths will be cleared, if necessary.
