摘要：	At the 4th Transportation Research Board Symposium on Snow Removal and Ice Control Technology, held in Reno, Nevada, in 1996, it was suggested that some sort of centralized e-mail-based communications system would benefit the winter maintenance community. Later that year, the snow and ice list-service was established (snow-ice@list.uiowa.edu). The performance of the list-serve in the three years since its formation is reviewed. Membership and message volumes are reported. Messages sent are divided into categories. The mechanics of the list-serve are described, and the procedures for its establishment and maintenance are detailed. There have been changes in procedure since the list's formation, and these changes are discussed. Problems with the list are also presented and solutions are given. Estimates for the time required to maintain such a list-serve are given, along with details of the software used to establish and maintain the list. Finally, results of a survey of the list of subscribers are presented; on the basis of this, the value of the list-serve to the winter maintenance community is estimated. Information on how to subscribe to and use the list-serve is provided.
