From the evening of Saturday January 3 into early morning Sunday the 4th, we received roughly 1.5 inches of new snow across the entire territory. While snow continued to trickle in over the next 16 hours, it seemed to settle and melt at the same rate it was landing – leaving us with roughly 1.5 inches as these words are being typed (6:30PM). The night looks quiet, but more snow is likely to arrive during the morning and early afternoon tomorrow. If it adds enough to our current base to push us over 3 inches, we’ll do what we do!

We got a little caught up in the fun of plowing and forgot to provide an update! My guess is by now you figured out our plans. Just wanted to apologize for dropping the ball!

With a few stray pockets of snow throughout early morning, we now have enough snow to plow the routes we DIDN’T plow overnight – primarily North Syracuse and 13088. Plowing has begun and should conclude early afternoon.

A clipper came through late last night that left 1.5 to 4 inches in driveways throughout CNY. This made for a busy morning for our measurers, trying to gauge where the snow was. Below is the resulting action plan:

-We are plowing all Baldwinsville/Phoenix/Seneca Knolls driveways (drivers started around 2AM).
-We are plowing all Clay driveways.
-We are plowing MOST 13090 driveways (drivers instructed to plow any that really qualify).
-Most of North Syracuse and the 13088 zip code has 2 inches or less of fluffy snow. Some neighborhoods were NEAR the clipper path, and those drivers are scanning to see if any driveways there need plowing.

This system “watch” is in effect until 7am, so we will keep an eye out for more snow, adjusting accordingly.

Happy New Year, everyone!

We will resume fighting the storm in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. Thank you!

It came later in the morning than forecasted, and then came all at once! Drivers have been on routes since early morning and will be battling right on through. We ask for your patience and understanding through this one – given the conditions and for safety’s sake, it is going to take a lot of time to get ontop of this storm. If you can avoid travel today, you absolutely should!

White Christmas was a bit delayed! We will be sending the fleet out early morning, when the heaviest of the snow has past (around 2am we suspect). Be safe out there!

Just an inch to inch-and-a-half overnight, so no plowing today. But a hearty THANK YOU to our customers, friends and supporters. You are very much appreciated, and we hope you and yours have a lovely holiday!

2PM: Dispatch expanded to include Baldwinsville neighborhoods off Route 370 (Cold Springs).
1PM: Dispatch expanded to include Baldwinsville center-village, Smokey Hollow area and Downer Street neighborhoods.
NOON: Phoenix and Radisson routes have begun dispatch. Snow piled up rapidly there! We are tracking the band’s southward movements now.

Given the additional lake effect bands trickling through neighborhoods throughout the early morning, we will be running through our routes again late morning into mid afternoon. WE WILL ONLY BE PLOWING THOSE DRIVEWAYS THAT NEED IT AGAIN (3+ inches). Thank you!

We will be conducting an overnight plow in Baldwinsville/Phoenix, Liverpool, N. Syracuse and Seneca Knolls, hoping to have everyone cleared up Friday morning. Clay routes plowed Thursday (11th) evening will be evaluated for service if more snow falls overnight. Thanks all!
