STORMS OF 0-6 INCHES:
Your road should be made passable up to 36 hours after the end of the storm.
*** Passable means that while the road may still be snow packed, at least one travel lane is accessible for a front wheel drive car. If our snowplow driver determines that your street meets this definition of passable, no further service will be provided. Additional plowing would create snow banks at driveway entrances which have previously been opened by residents. In addition, if our snowplow driver cannot safely access your street due to on-street parking, service will be delayed until adequate access is available or until smaller equipment becomes available.
STORMS OF 6-14 INCHES:
Your road will be made passable 2-3 days after the end of the storm.

Your road will be made passable 3-4 days after the end of the storm.
STORMS OF 22 INCHES AND ABOVE:
Your road will be made passable 4-6 days after the end of the storm.
