TWO IMPORTANT NOTES:

(1) ON GARBAGE DAY, PLEASE DO YOUR VERY BEST TO KEEP THE BINS OUT OF THE WAY OF PLOWING, and pull them in as soon as you can after emptying. Our drivers cannot get out of their trucks to move them.

(1) OUR PRIMARY PHONE SYSTEM IS DOWN. BARE WITH US WHILE WE WORK WITH NORTHLAND.

-10AM: Dispatched in 13212 and the remainder of Liverpool.

-8AM: Dispatched in 13027, 13135, 13209 and neighborhoods in 13090 WEST OF MORGAN ROAD. HEAVY lake effect hit very late. We’ll do our best to service you quickly.

-6AM: Snow starting to pick up. 1 inch or less across territory. Will keep an eye on it!

-4AM: Still quiet

MOST RECENT UPDATE AT THE TOP

-11AM, 8AM, 7AM, 5AM & 3AM checks: No changes from 1AM check.

-1AM: No new snow overnight yet as the band hovers North of us. Will keep an eye on it in case it decides to drop.

Gonna be a fun few days! Below is a blow-by-blow on our coverage of this storm, with the most recent update being at the top,

-NOON SATURDAY: All drivers are authorized to begin a second run as soon as they finish their first run.

-11AM SATURDAY: Clay plows have been dispatched.

-10AM SATURDAY: Plow operators have been dispatched in Baldwinsville (Radisson is a part of Bville!), 13090 and the neighborhoods in 13212 and 13088 that weren’t plowed during the 5AM run. Keeping an eye on where band organizes next.

-5AM SATURDAY: Beginning to plow North Syracuse neighborhoods WEST OF 31 as well as 13088 (*only those routes that weren’t plowed Thursday) due to drifting and slight accumulation on top of Thursday’s base. Waiting for the band to organize over the rest of our neighborhoods.

-CHECKS at 3AM and 1AM SATURDAY: Less than 1 inch of new snow across territory. Checking again at 5am.

-9AM FRIDAY: Quiet night. No further plowing needed at this time.

-2PM THURSDAY: Plowing in Baldwinsville, Clay, Cicero and 13090 neighborhoods of Liverpool. Heavy bands came through early afternoon necessitating a plow in those neighborhoods. Keeping an eye on other areas for now.

-NOON THURSDAY: Earlier snowfall beginning to melt, with occasional sun and temps in the mid-thirties. No need to plow yet. We’ll keep watching!

-9AM THURSDAY: One inch or less across territory. Watching current snow bursts for additional accumulation.

-OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY: What snow landed melted on warmed up driveways. Will continue watching through the morning.

Hello all! With the last of the heavier snow appearing to clear off the radar around 5am or so, we are doing a full plow this morning, beginning around 4am. Thank you – you are appreciated year-round, but most especially around the holidays.

Happy Holidays! We didn’t want our friends in North Syracuse, Clay and the 13088 to feel left out in the cold! While we didn’t see as much snow there as elsewhere, with the holiday weekend and the cold we felt it best to give you a clean slate. Plowing will take place overnight into Sunday morning. Stay warm!

-12PM: Plowing has expanded to include neighborhoods off Soule Road, in Bayberry, Willowstream, and the 370 section of the Village of Liverpool (along with Radisson and Kimbrook as earlier reported). It just keeps trickling down! Other areas remain below 1.5 inches.

-Will begin plowing the rest of Baldwinsville (namely Radisson) beginning at noon.

-7AM:  Dispatching drivers to Baldwinsville Village/Downer/Smokey Hollow neighborhoods, and keeping an eye on remaining Baldwinsville/Radisson neighborhoods (right now measuring under 2 inches). All other neighborhoods in territory still 1.5 inches or less.

-4AM check:  0.5 to 1.5 inches throughout territory. No plowing yet.

-Saturday, December 21, 2AM:  0.5 to 1.25 inches throughout the territory.

-Friday, December 20, 8PM:  Quick check-ins from managers indicate less than half an inch throughout most of the territory, with amounts around an inch in Baldwinsville.

It came! It came! It finally came! We will be plowing in all neighborhoods, beginning around 2am. Please keep in mind it takes a handful of hours to get through our routes. Thanks all!

WE’LL BE POSTING UPDATES ON THE LATEST SNOW EVENT HERE, WITH THE LATEST UPDATE AT THE TOP. STAY SAFE, EVERYONE!

-7pm (last update of 12/5 evening): Got about an inch to inch and a half of new wet snow over the past couple hours, which has melted down on the warmed driveways to around an inch. We will be up through the night to see if there’s more to come!

-Noon: With warm drives and sun, no accumulation from last band.

-10:30am: Snow has moved back into the area. Tracking closely.

-7am: A fast-moving band dumped about an inch of new snow everywhere. Not enough to plow, BUT ENOUGH TO MAKE YOUR MORNING COMMUTE SLIPPERY. Please drive carefully!

-1am, 3am and 5am checks saw no new snow to dustings across the territory.

We’ve been tracking this bizarre weather pattern all night and morning, and the late burst in isolated areas around Baldwinsville has triggered a PARTIAL dispatch, as follows:

-Plowing all neighborhoods in Baldwinsville Village proper, as well as Seneca Knolls and Village Green.

-Checking Radisson and Phoenix and plowing where necessary (we are seeing 3+ inches in some driveways, and blacktop across the street!).

-All other areas 1.5 inches or less, so no plowing at this time.

Dispatch was 12pm to 1pm, which aims to be done as folks arrive home from work.

Morning folks! That Watertown band dropped and lake effect worked its way Northwest-to-Southeast from 11pm on, but didn’t accumulate in many areas until later than ideal. With that we did a full, rolling dispatch:

-Clay began plowing around 2am

-Baldwinsville began plowing around 3am

-13090 zip code began plowing around 3:30am, and

-13088 and North Syracuse began plowing around 4am

With the late-falling snow and our first plow of the season, we ask for patience as we work toward you this morning. Thank you!
