Snow Event #1; 3 and 5 through 6 January 2024 – Update #1

Good afternoon.  I am out-of-pocket currently but wanted to get this initial update out to everyone on the two events rolling through now also on Sunday through Monday.

SEASONAL LINKS:

2024 – 2025 Snow Removal Policy:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ecsvaDDxgJZusJO41BIxcdQ9ZBY3s3Kj/view 

Patriot Disposal Services Website: https://www.patriotdisposalservices.com/

Situation:  Cold temps with water on ground tonight and 3 to 6 inches of snow forecast Sunday evening through Monday evening.

Preparation Requests:

1.  Please review the Snow Removal Policy – a couple of points I’d like to make.

1.A.  When plows are operating they are working under specific instructions, please do not try to get them to accomplish other tasks.  Contact the Streets and Sidewalks Chair if you have any questions.
1.B.  Plows maintain a distance of 30 inches from all parking spaces / vehicles.  The remainder of the distance is up to us.
1.C.  Request you consider removing the snow and ice from the common sidewalks to the front, and in some cases, the rear of your townhomes. 

1.D.  Request you clear around nearby mailboxes and fire hydrants.  These actions help us sustain a safe environment for those moving through our community or for any emergency response that may be necessary.

2.  Consider not parking at the three Snow Emergency Curbs (white-painted curbs) on Sunday evening.

Current Status

Tomorrow’s Plan

1.  Nothing Significant to Report

Items for Consideration or Action

1.  BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU WALK OR DRIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY TONIGHT.  With the expected low temperatures this evening, black ice could be throughout the community in any areas that have not had ice melt treatments applied to them.  If it looks wet and shiny it’s probably a skating rink waiting for you to slide across….   That’s for people walking or vehicles trying to drive across the surface….  Watch your steps when you are walking and drive carefully if you are traveling by vehicle.  

Be safe and take care of yourselves and your neighbors,

Thank you in advance for your efforts!  

Regards,

Mark
