Local conditions
Here's what actually affects plowing and ice control in Hot Springs.
Hot Springs sits in the southern Black Hills near Wind Cave National Park and the Mammoth Site, at a lower elevation and drier microclimate than most of the Hills, which keeps its average annual snowfall among the lowest of the Black Hills cities in this dataset. Frequent winter Chinook (Föhn) winds push afternoon temperatures above 50°F on roughly 25 winter days a year, meaning snow that does fall often melts off city streets within a day or two.
We regularly service routes near US-18, US-385, SD-79.
