Across the U.S., states are setting up for snowfall. Preventative measures are especially important when prepping for predictable and unpredictable snow showers, CleanLink affirms. From stocking up on rock salt in Pennsylvania, as WFMZ says, to laying down brine in Missouri, Fox 2 Now reports, proactive planning is a necessary protocol for preparing for winter weather countrywide.

According to The Weather Channel, in 2025, all 50 states saw snow. Predictive weather models shared by Unofficial Networks state that due to a weaker La Niña pattern, 29 states are forecasting heavier snowfalls, while 19 more states will experience milder snowstorms this winter season. These models underscore the necessity for updated facility emergency plans to address maintenance needs—Marsden Services suggests checking HVAC equipment, exterior equipment, mat supplies, and more.

Clearly communicating comprehensive weather emergency plans is essential when safeguarding cleaning crews, Safety Culture adds. Southern states, such as Georgia, have capitalized on this safety measure by sharing an outline of how the city of Atlanta will tackle snowfall, Fox 5 Atlanta asserts. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) maintains that preventing slips and falls due to snow and ice on pavement and floors, as well as during snow removal, is a necessary feature of facility weather preparedness. ARC Facilities recommends stocking up on snow treatment and safety supplies to ensure that whatever the weather brings this season, secure environments will be in place.
