WHEN IT SNOWS…

  • Please park your vehicle in your driveway and NOT IN THE CUL-DE-SAC so that plowers can safely plow the entire street.
  • The plow company has placed driveway markers throughout the courts to assist with plowing to the end of the property. If a marker falls down, please set it up again. *You may need to drill a “pilot hole” if the ground is frozen.
  • REMINDER for TOWNHOME RESIDENTS: Townhome residents are required to shovel snow and salt for ice their own walkways. They are also responsible for shoveling out their own cars.
  • ROCK SALT works well, but it also can be damaging stuff! It’s toxic to plants when it gets in soil, can eat paint off of cars, and damage concrete and asphalt surfaces. Easy tips to prevent SALT DAMAGE:
    • Shovel More, Salt Less. Once you’ve cleared ice and snow off a surface, the Sun can do the rest – temperatures permitting. Also, if you remove the snow BEFORE it turns to ice, it helps limit the amount of ice formed (and in need of salting).
    • Salt Sparingly. No need to “blanket” the driveway. Look for spots that often pool with water and freeze into ice patches. Hit those areas with salt and see if that’s enough for a safe path.
    • Use an Alternative to Salt. A lot of “De-icers” are just as toxic as salt, but CALCIUM MAGNESIUM ACETATE is the most environmentally safe product to remove ice. It won’t corrode metals or cause significant harm to plant life.
