Days are getting shorter and after November 7th they get even shorter still. Daylight savings is a clear sign that winter is here and the dark and the cold along with it. Keeping our driveways, walkways, and parking lots clear and safe can be like a full-time job. Do you have time to get out there at 4 am before work? Or before the kids wake up to shovel, lay salt, and snow blow? Most of us don’t and who wants to when it’s still pitch black outside.

Are You Ready for Winters Worst Weather?

Planning for winter with a Rockland County Snow Removal Contractor should be done before it is snowing.

Nobody likes the cold. Even those that say they love snow and love the winter, can’t really “like” windchill of -20F. If they say they do they are lying or are from Antarctica! If last year was any sign of what we can expect this year you need to be ready for multiple snowstorms. We had lots of big snow last year getting more than 1 foot on more than a few occasions. Schools would have been closed were they not doing remote, but this year in NY kids are back to school.

That means keeping parking lots clear, roadways safe, and walkways ice-free. This is no easy task. Consider a commercial space with a daycare center. People still have to go to work when school is closed, which means dropping their children off at daycare. If that parking lot and road aren’t clear it can spell disaster for everyone involved.

Parents who are late to work or at risk of injury to drop them off. Staff who can’t safely get in on time and which leads to a domino effect of slowdowns. Commercial ice management is a must for these organizations there is no way to get the job done with two shovels.

Why a Plow on a Pick-Up Truck Won’t Do the Job

We’ve all seen pickup trucks with plows attached to the front during the winter. This may be fine for a single driveway but it isn’t ok for large parking lots or retail locations. The size of the truck and the size of the plow directly affect the speed of snow clean-up. You would need two pickup trucks with plows for every one Snow Removal truck, which can also lay salt.

Planning for this ahead of a storm doesn’t mean calling a snow removal contractor in Rockland NY the night before a blizzard arrives. You need to tackle this sort of thing ahead of the season. If you’re a manager of a commercial property you need to get on an established schedule.

  • When will the fleet arrive on average snowfall days?
  • What about during blizzards? 
  • What time can you expect a clearing on days of 1-3 inches? What about 3-6 inches? Over a foot? 

There are lots of factors that play into the speed any snow contractor can get to their desired location. If they have enough trucks it should be easy enough but there are also public roadways to consider. Don’t wait until the night before an ice storm arrives either. There are often down power lines and trees in the road which make getting to you that much more time-consuming.
