Apologies for the delayed update. It’s been another geographically-weird, late-arriving event to track! A recap of morning activities, by township:

-BALDWINSVILLE/PHOENIX: We are plowing in Radisson/Phoenix, Kimbrook and off of Smokey Hollow. Other neighborhoods have less than 2 inches, but we will keep an eye out for more potential snow.

-CLAY: We are plowing all of Clay.

-LIVERPOOL: We are plowing Bayberry and Elmcrest neighborhoods, Fairways, Soule Road, and Wildcreek. Other neighborhoods (mainly 13088) have less than 2 inches, but we will keep an eye out for more potential snow.

-N. SYRACUSE: No plowing this time, as we are measuring 0.5 to 1.75 inches depending on drifting. We will keep an eye out for more potential snow.

-SENECA KNOLLS/VILLAGE GREEN: No plowing this time, as we are measuring 1 to 1.5 inches depending on drifting. We will keep an eye out for more potential snow.

Additional overnight lake effect added to the modest base from the previous night. This gave us enough to plow in 13027, 13041, 13135 and 13209 zip codes, as well as MOST of 13090. We measured less than 2 inches of fluff everywhere else (mainly 13212 and 13088) so we will not be plowing in those neighborhoods.

G’morning, folks! Chronological updates, with newest at the top:

4AM and 6AM check-ins: A very slow but persistent trickle has pushed snow totals up another half inch. Still not enough to plow, but we are keeping an eye on things – particularly in the western neighborhoods of Baldwinsville, which are pushing 2 inches now.

At 2AM check-in our managers were measuring roughly 1 to 1.5 inches of powder in most of our neighborhoods. Not enough to plow at this point. There’s a chance for more snow later in the morning/day, so we’ll keep an eye out!

I don’t know if I remember how to type these words: There will be no plowing today. Less than 1.5 inches of new snow since last plow. Hope you all have a great weekend!

-8:30AM UPDATE: ALL ROUTES NOT PLOWED OVERNIGHT (13088, 13212 and 13090) HAVE BEEN DISPATCHED FOR MID-MORNING PLOW.

-All 13027 zip codes, Phoenix and Seneca Knolls plow operators started their routes around 2am (5 inches of snow).

-Clay hit the 3 inch threshold a bit later, and dispatched around 3:30am.

-Soule Road and Bayberry neighborhoods are still under 3 inches of fluff as of 5:30am, but it APPEARS they will eventually get to that mark. Once we are confident in that we will dispatch (likely mid-morning).

-All other neighborhoods (13088, 13212 and outlying 13090) were at 2 inches or less as of 5:30am. No plowing necessary at this time, but we will keep an eye out.

It’s Groundhogs Day! All crews have been dispatched for an overnight plow, hoping to finish by daylight.

8AM UPDATE: Additional light accumulation means we are ALSO now plowing in 13088 Liverpool, North Syracuse, and Clay. Thank you!

We have dispatched for service in: All of Baldwinsville/Radisson/Phoenix, Seneca Knolls, and MOST of the 13090 zip code of Liverpool (where needed). Scattered dispatch between 1:30AM and 3:30AM start times, depending on where the band dumped and when. All other areas had only 1 inch of fluffy snow, plus or minus.

Due to safety and labor regulations, the present conditions and long work hours, for our drivers’ safety and to protect your property’s from harm, we need to get our drivers home to rest and regroup, and for our mechanics to work on our equipment. We realize this will leave plowable snow in some of your driveways (we plowed 12 to 18 inches in our first run and saw upwards of 10 additional inches since on our second pass, for houses we reached a second or third time). Because of this, additional snow overnight, and drifting from high winds, we will be out overnight. PLEASE NOTE: We will have a small skeleton crew of drivers out for the next handful of hours. IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY OR CRITICALLY URGENT SITUATION, please email us and we will do our best to reach you. Otherwise we will take care of you overnight.

ALL ROUTES BEGAN PLOWING AT 1AM. PLEASE NOTE: Due to extreme circumstances, dangerous conditions and heavy snowfall, service WILL take an extended amount of time to complete. Please only contact the office for emergency and critical situations! Thank you.

AFTERNOON: Trucks dispatched to check routes for town plow messes. Still dangerous driving conditions, so be careful!

FULL DISPATCH EARLY MORNING. SIDE NOTE: Driving conditions overnight were sloppy but manageable. But come sunrise most of us will get some freezing rain and sleet, so PLEASE BE CAREFUL driving! Have a nice Sunday!

SNOW REPORTS AND DISPATCH TIMING LISTED BELOW, WITH NEWEST UPDATES AT THE TOP.

-PLEASE NOTE: Our drivers are reporting extremely dangerous driving and plowing conditions out there (ice, zero-visibility, deep snow). We ask for your patience and understanding as we work through this snow event as best (AND SAFELY) as we can!

-4AM: DISPATCHING NORTH SYRACUSE AND ALL OF LIVERPOOL EXCEPT GALEVILLE (under an inch in Galeville at this time).

-3AM: DISPATCHING BALDWINSVILLE/PHOENIX/SENECA KNOLLS, CLAY AND MOYERS CORNERS ROUTES. Roughly 3 inches in the first wave of snow.

-1AM: Just a dusting at this point. Snow is just about to arrive.
