This is an alphabetical (approximately) listing of papers, reports, books, videos, and other stuff pertaining to winter maintenance of which I am aware. It is NOT complete, and if you are aware of something that should be here, but isn't, please e-mail me (wilfrid-nixon@uiowa.edu). Thanks, and enjoy!
Oh, by the way, because I am trying to keep this up to date, it should be considered a work in progress. Please visit here often!
