Working Hard to Keep Your Community Safe

How Can Frost Help My Municipality?

Smart Snow Management

The Frost Solutions suite of snow and ice management tools is designed to give public works crews a leg up on winter. Our products all work independently or cohesively, depending on your municipality's needs. Deploy your snow crew from the comfort of your bed, optimizing for road safety and saving taxpayer dollars on false deployments.

Environmental Impact

Overuse of salt burns vegetation, contaminates water sources, and erodes infrastructure. By using the data provided by the Frost Mini-Weather Station, you'll be able to more accurately apply salt and other chemicals, protecting your lakes, rivers, infrastructure, and land. This data can also be helpful for your EPA reporting.

How Municipalities work with us

We are happy to work with you directly, or work through your preferred cooperative buying site. We are an approved vendor on OMNIA, Sourcewell, and Bonfire. We are also the exclusive RWIS of choice with Tapco. Looking for another? Just ask!

Share Data Across Neighboring Cities

We are happy to facilitate free data sharing with neighboring cities with Frost units for more advanced notice on incoming weather and additional data points.

How Many Units Do I Need?

Leverage Frost across your Communitity:

While each municipality is different, and we can help plan the number of devices for your locale, we recommend taking one of these approaches to determine the right number of each type of unit. Depending on your city’s characteristics, you may need additional or fewer units to get a good read on conditions. Frost units can also easily be moved from one location to another.

Option 1: Microclimates

  • Split your Municipality into Sections. This can be the simplest and fastest way to get started, but may not result in the most useful data depending on your topography and road systems. Think about the different climates across your municipality and try to adequately represent each one.

Option 2: Varied Pavement Types

  • Place RWIS units on varied pavement types: asphalt, concrete, brick, shady roads, sunny roads, bridges, overpasses, and higher/lower elevation

Option 3: Known Problem Areas

  • Focus on known problem areas like key intersections, bridges, and inclines.

Option 4: Major City Locations

  • City Hall
  • Town Square
  • Schools
  • Parking Lots
  • Retail Centers

Is This Expensive?

Cost Effective

Historically, RWIS (Road Weather Information System) devices have been very expensive. Frost has created the first low-cost RWIS device that focuses on giving you more datapoints to better make snow and ice management decisions. Frost customers typically find the units pay for themselves after 2-3 winter weather events by better managing their resources, plows, and labor costs.

Grants

Grants may be available for Frost products. Historically, many of our customers have had success funding their Mini-Weather Station program with salt reduction/EPA and road safety grants.

"I have had multiple alerts come to my phone warning of low road temperatures and black ice that I have found to be accurate and helpful. The public works crew was able to respond to the alert and had the road treated before commuting traffic had any issues."

"This may be the best business tool that I have ever purchased in my 25 years of owning a snow removal business. The peace of mind it has brought me is truly amazing."

“Having up to the minute pavement temperatures available helps us not only save on personnel costs, but also material costs. If the temperatures are warmer, we know we don’t need as much salt
to clear the road. We can also hold our crews back, reducing payroll and saving the taxpayers.”

“The Frost units have been a great way for us to keep our contractors accountable. Not only can we see when and why the work was completed, but we can use the data and photos to make decisions about delaying or canceling school.”

“In the first month of having the unit I bet we saved $15k between salt and wages. It costs $5- 6k to salt the lot and we were able to hold back based off of the readings."
