Snow Plowing Tips
The following are some tips and facts to help you better understand the snow removal process:
- HOW TO SHOVEL A DRIVEWAY APRON:
- When shoveling, pile the majority of the snow to the left of your driveway, as when facing your house. This helps when the snowplows come by…there is less snow to be plowed in front of your driveway. The shoveling of snow into the road is not permitted. The snow plows will only push the snow back into your driveway. Try to wait until storm has past and plows have plowed curb to curb before opening driveway aprons.

- HOW DOES SALT WORK?
- After the salt is applied, cars work the salt into the snow to make the salt do its job. Slush created by the salt and traffic can then be pushed off of the roadways. Once solid ice mats are formed it is difficult to remove them with a plow blade. Salt is also applied after plowing to improve driving conditions.

- HOW DOES BRINE WORK?
- Brine is a liquid solution of 23% salt and 72% water that is applied to road surface prior to a storm to create a barrier between the snow or ice and road surface. It assists in removal of snow when plowed to reduce ice mats from forming.
