"Trigger amounts" have been foretold in the first serious snowfall of the season. We got this note from the snowplow people today. Here we go!

Good Sunday afternoon. 

The local meteorologists are calling today the calm before the storm.  I also heard today that winter storms in the Upper Midwest now have names like hurricanes.  This one is called “Astro”. 

We will begin service sometime early tomorrow morning as service specifications and trigger amounts are reached.  We plan on completing open ups and keeping drive lanes/roadways cleared as outlined in your service agreement.  More than likely you will see multiple open ups as this snow event is going to continue dropping snow on us for over 24 hours.

Our crews began the process of removing fall cleanup equipment and installing plows and snow removal equipment last week.  All of our equipment has been serviced and is ready to go into action.

Being this is looking like a heavy and wet snow event and the ground is not frozen, there could be some plow damage to turf areas.  Our crews will do their best to avoid such damage, but with an event of this magnitude, it is bound to happen.  Rest assured that any damage we cause to your lawn and landscape will be repaired in the spring.

Enjoy the rest of the day and be safe if you are traveling in the metro area over the next couple of days.
