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!

Howdy folks! Long time no chat! We’ve been busy preparing for the (inevitable – I promise, it’s coming!) winter. When the snow comes, we’re ready for you! IMPORTANT NOTE: WE HAVE SET A HARD DEADLINE FOR CONTRACT ACTIVATIONS AND PLOWING QUOTES OF NOVEMBER 30. We will not accept contracts or payments after this date and will not consider requests for estimates. Please know, this is not us trying to be mean! This is in deference to our current customers and drivers. In order to provide the best service we can, we need to lock in our routes and move beyond the administrative phase, into ACTION mode. So if you are planning on signing up, please do so NOW! Thanks all. Hope everyone has a safe, warm and happy Winter!

UPDATE: Once drivers finished their first run through the routes, they started right back up at the beginning for a second run. Starting times varied, but everyone should be taken care of a second time by 1PM.

G’morning! All routes have been dispatched for plowing as of 3AM. Be safe out there!

6AM: Snow band heading eastward out of CNY, with existing 0.75 to 1.25 inches already beginning to melt down. No plowing today other than emergency call-ins.

4AM: 0.75 to 1.25 inches on driveways, with radar indicating snow may stop soon. Will keep an eye on things, but no plowing yet!

2AM: Less than three-quarters of an inch on driveways in all neighborhoods. Managers measuring again at 4AM.

MIDNIGHT: Less than half an inch on driveways in all neighborhoods. Managers instructed to circulate and check in again at 2AM.

8PM: Blacktop showing on driveways in all neighborhoods.

6AM: New special weather statements being issued – 1 to 3 inches per hour! Drivers have been instructed to plow routes again once their first run is through. We will do our best to keep up!

4AM: ALL ROUTES ARE BEING PLOWED. Clay did not fill in until 4am so they got a later start. Be safe everyone – gonna be a wild ride today!

2AM: Lake effect band hitting some areas hard, others not at all, and shifting. We are rolling out plow trucks to areas that have filled in, and as others fill in will continue rolling out.

1AM: Less than one inch of fluff across the territory. Will continue to monitor the lake effect band throughout the night.
