WINDSOR MATTERS
FEBRUARY 2025
How Should You Handle
Snow?
Did you know that Windsor residents are required to shovel the sidewalk in front of their home within 24 hours of the end of a storm? Not only is it a courtesy to neighbors, but it reduces the chance of injury from slips and falls. Here are a few reminders for home snow removal:
• When shoveling, take it slow and use caution. Use your legs rather than your back when lifting snow.
• Give grass and landscaping much needed moisture. Place shoveled snow in yards.
• When using ice melt on sidewalks, please follow the directions on the bag. Applying excess materials can harm our local waterways.
Always keep streets and walkways clear.
Keep storm drains and gutters clear of snow to prevent ice build-ups and flooding, which can create hazardous conditions in streets and on sidewalks.
Don’t shovel snow from driveways and sidewalks into streets and gutters.
Do not pile snow around fire hydrants, as it obstructs their function.
