It’s no secret Mother Nature can be unpredictable, especially when it comes to Midwest winters. We’re no strangers to heavy snowfall and white-out conditions. Since we are used to the snow, it can be easy to take clear roads, driveways, and sidewalks after a snowstorm for granted — but it doesn’t happen by magic. It’s all thanks to hardworking snow removal crews willing to sacrifice sleep and family time so the community can safely get from Point A to Point B. It may come as a surprise to some, but planning for a snowstorm starts long before the first flake falls. The process begins with a contract that determines just how much snow needs to fall before snow removal occurs.
