As one of the coldest areas in Whatcom County, Lynden experiences longer-lasting snow and deep accumulations that can quickly block access points to businesses, warehouses, and commercial properties. Freezing fog and persistent ice buildup are also common, making untreated walkways and parking lots especially dangerous. With frequent sub-freezing temperatures and compacted snow, snow and ice removal in Lynden requires consistent plowing, de-icing, and proactive maintenance to keep businesses safe and accessible all winter long.
