We are monitoring snow amounts for this storm and our snow contractor Boswell Lawn Service is ready to plow if needed. It’s unclear at this point how much will stick due to ground temps.
As a reminder, we will clear snow when there is 1 inch or more on the sidewalks and 2 inches or more on driveways.
Update: Dec 1st – I appears that most of the snow melted and we are left with only a thin coating on sidewalks and driveways. Be safe. Temps in the 40’s the next few days
It looks like snow will continue for another couple hours. Tom and crew will begin driveway work at about 5:30pm this evening. He’ll then clear the sidewalks
Only the sidewalks are getting done today due to us only getting approx 1″ overnight
8:30am – The snow contractor just called and is starting to go around Northview clearing snow.
12:45pm – The snow contractor is about 75% complete at this point with the driveways. He has been slowed down a bit due to the heavy snow. Someone from the city also stopped him today and is requiring him to not plow any snow into the street, even temporarily. So that has altered the way he can clear the snow. I will be following up with the city as this requirement seems to have come from nowhere and seems a bit unnecessary.
5:45 pm – Snow removal is complete. If there are spots that did not get done please email the Northview Board.
As a reminder, sidewalks are cleared when they have 1 inch or more on them and driveways are cleared when we get 2 inches or more. Since this snow is so early in the season and the ground has not frozen, there is the potential to do more damage than it’s worth to plow but this must be balanced with how much snow we get and the temperature forecast. I am in communication with our contractor Tom Zilke and he will advise the best path forward to get us through this first snowfall and into the upcoming snow season. Check back here for more updates.
Update: Just spoke with the contractor and he will begin plowing snow in the neighborhood around 7 pm. Most of the snow should be down by then. Due to the soft ground they will be conservative around the edges of your driveway to minimize turf damage. So please expect that the snow will not be cleared to the very edge of your driveway. If there are issues please send an email to bod@salinenorthview.org and we will help you.
The crew is still out in the neighborhood and should be finishing up soon. If there are places that were missed please let us know and I’ll get them back out to clean things up. This was a bigger snow event than was planned and we appreciate your patience.
11/12/19 Update 8 am – Sidewalks are still being cleared this morning. He’s going around as quick as he can but it’s just been slow going due to the amount and type of snow we received.
Otherwise will do sidewalks and mailboxes only.
