Battling snow for days.

What happens here

Proper snow disposal is critical. Avoid pushing snow across public roads or into adjacent properties, as this can create hazards and is often illegal (compared to 'throwing your lawn clippings into your neighbor's yard'). Instead, collect snow into designated piles within the property boundaries, ideally in areas that do not obstruct traffic flow, visibility, or drainage systems. This practice ensures safety for all road users and maintains good relationships with neighboring properties.

Goal: Properly dispose of snow within property boundaries and avoid creating hazards.

Tools and materials

  • Snowplow — Moving snow to designated piling areas

so we still got a lot of hours left to snow to come but you can see our lots are pretty clear and this is the American Cancer Society building we call this one because that's the building that we're doing we just want to make sure that this is nice and clean and easy for the guys coming in and out that they don't they got one less thing to worry about and we've got a number of buildings like that in our complexes so we just always try to to stay well uh well ahead of the game so those folks have a little easier time so we're just on the main main drag here and these roads are nasty there's one of my loaders right now in front of us boom that's bright that is bright so not it's all shaved on that's still Gonna Keep Falling On Us but there's nowhere in our Lots where anybody should be struggling looks like these guys have this side pretty well under control just put 40 gallons of gas on guess how much that cost 40 gallons how much do you think 40 gallons of fuel just cost diesel put it on the truck so I could top off the machines now I didn't use off-road fuel I should have but the off-road place is another 20 minutes away so I went went short and sweet all right I'm gonna show you guys probably one of the worse things you can do is just show it's pure Amateur hour and it's not driving off from the road and almost hitting that tree right there looks like somebody did that it's this pile of snow right here that came from Costco up the hill and they the loader bring brought it down let's just make sure and you can see directly where they pushed it right across the street and if you're not familiar with snow plowing it's kind of like taking your lawn clippings putting them in a bag and throwing them in your neighbor's yard it's just something you don't do if a City plow truck came by and seen you guys doing this or somebody doing this they would stop and chew you out and that's how I learned about it the first time I thought it was okay to do my first year or two back in business I think that was in like 1863 and I got my butt chewed out and you still you still see guys doing it to this day you can right see the tracks right where they came up and piled their snow across the road there and over there it's the biggest mistake you can make one of them there's a few but that's one that sticks out like a sore thumb
