In 2010, Germany experienced the coldest December in over 40 years, according to the German weather service. Coupled with above-average precipitation levels, this resulted in tremendous amounts of snowfall for Schweinfurt. The garrison's Directorate of Public Works employees toiled long hours to clear roads and sidewalks throughout the month, utilizing 130 tons of salt and a worthy fleet of snow-removal vehicles and machinery.
