DESCRIPTION: Join us for an in-depth webinar on how to best utilize Thawcaster as another tool for deciding when to impose or remove spring load restrictions.\n\nThawcaster aids road agencies in the consistent assessment of roads during the more critical times of the year when some roads become quite fragile by providing agencies with a single tool to access weather data combined with thaw-weakening calculations and analyses. Thawcaster computes the thaw index for thaw periods using the reference temperature of 29 degrees Fahrenheit for the FHWA model and a floating reference temperature from February 1st to May 31st for the Minnesota Method Thaw Index calculations.\n\nThe Center for Technology & Training (CTT) develops and maintains Thawcaster based on research, experience, and the input of several Michigan road agencies.\n\nRegistration for this virtual event closes on January 5th, 2026.\n\n\nFor details, click here: https://ctt.secure.nonprofitsoapbox.com/2026thawcaster-jan
