Hey gang! Below will be a running update on our tracking and handling of this storm, with the latest update at the top.

8:15AM: We will be conducting a clean-up run, beginning between 10 and 11am, to take care of any driveways that need further attention.

MIDNIGHT: Crews have been dispatched for Round 1. It’s ON.

Thursday 5PM: Just about an inch of snow now (though it is messy and slushy – drive carefully!). We are holding back the fleet and will begin our first run at MIDNIGHT.

Thursday 4PM: Our managers are reporting under an inch of new snow throughout the territory. No plowing at present, and unlikely to plow before midnight unless things dramatically change soon. Need to keep our drivers and equipment fresh for the heavy stuff!

Hello! PLEASE NOTE: We are no longer accepting new customers, activating old contracts, or entertaining requests for on-call or one-time plowing during storms. Our service areas are at capacity, and it is critical that we do not dilute service for our existing customers. We hope you’ll look us up again in Fall, when we can take all comers! Thank you for considering Randy Cramer Snow & Lawn.

Hey folks! We made the rounds this morning to see what the skies had to offer. Snow totals ranged from 1 to 1.5 inches across our territory. The perfect amount to look pretty, just not “plow”y. We’ll keep a look-out!

Remember that time I said we’d be keeping an eye out for more snow? Well, there was more snow – a LOT in areas to the North.  We had a fast moving, heavy-in-spots snow band come through overnight. We have dispatched a full crew and will be plowing all of our customers in Phoenix, Baldwinsville, Cicero and Clay, and will at least be checking all driveways in Liverpool and North Syracuse – plowing those if they have enough to plow. Cold morning, throw on an extra cardigan to start your day!

Hey all! Just wanted to let you know we’ve been watching the weather during the course of the day, and will do so through the night. While the snowfall produced some mid-afternoon heart-murmers, it amounted to roughly an inch of new snow – not enough to plow. If we get enough additional overnight snow to hit our 3″ threshold, we’ll be out to take care of you.

Good morning folks! We had a little clipper sweep through CNY and drop some snow on top of that basecoat we got the other day. That’s just about enough to merit a cleanup. We dispatched all trucks, beginning around 2AM. Happy Tuesday!

Hey folks! This snow continues to kick up a mess, and there is an uneasy forecast and radar over the next handful of hours. Therefore we will be heading out for an early morning check, and clean up any driveways in need. Unrelated but related…

This snow is DANGEROUSLY slippery. For those rejoining the daily grind and morning commute tomorrow, PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

Hey again! Given how much fun the town plows are having in your neighborhoods and the bit of mess coming from the sky now, we will be dispatching the drivers for a second plow run, beginning at 1PM. Thank you!

Happy MLK Day, everyone! We started up the fleet for an early morning plow. Drivers will be on their routes by 2AM, but this one will take a little longer – it is HEAVY, icy stuff! The roads are VERY dangerous this morning, so please be careful if you must drive!

Well the weather gods finally gave us something definitive and consistent to work with! We are plowing in all neighborhoods, beginning around 1am. Keep in mind an average run takes 4+ hours, and in some territories we got significant accumulation. Hope you have a nice (indoors) day!

Hey folks! The snow is accumulating at different rates throughout the territory. Instead of burying posts as we roll out service, we will continue to update service times in THIS post, listed from earliest to most recent. Please keep in mind in a TYPICAL snow event (too early to tell if this will be typical or crazy!), routes take 4 to 5 hours to complete.
