A plowing question About This Page:

[AKLRULZ]

Our street hasn't seen a plow yet today and I'm sure won't for at least the next 24 hours. How soon is your street plowed after a snow storm?

Signed,
Snowbound, but lovin' it

As far as we're concerned, they can take their time

Seriously, We got plowed sometime overnight, but it froze again by morning. Looking pretty good now.

Gosh...I think that there in my town there are under 5 total. If I remember correctly the last big storm it took 3 days to see a grater.

Nobody plows our street, unless a neighbor takes pity on us who happens to have a plow on their pick-up. Just drive through it, over it, or in some cases, under it, when it drifts. We have a pick-up truck with 4-wheel drive and a sedan with front-wheel drive, so we manage without anyone clearing our street most of the time.

For some reason our block takes 2 or 3 days after a snowstorm to be ploughed. But all the other streets around us are ploughed overnight.

We live on a state road, so we are plowed pretty quickly here. Within two hours of the first flakes, the road crews are out, pretty much around the clock. I've got to give our guys credit though - even the local crews get to all the roads within 4-5 hours. I drive dance carpool, and we had a surprise storm that dumped about 4 inches in an hour and a half. When I drove Jennie's friend home to their road (only 2 houses on it - last on the list), they were just getting plowed.

Almost immediately; Our little village of under 200 folks and no businessess(save the post office, the church, the credit union that sells necessities out of a cold case in teh lobby, and the American legion bar) has its own snowplow, AND my next door neighbor drives it!LOL!! We get plowed pretty quickly...... Dont really need the plow though; most everybody here has 4wheel drive pickups

When we first moved here the state and the twp both plowed the road. They got into a fight a few years ago and both seemed to stopped plowing although it's a state road. They had a shakeup at the local state garage and now we're back to having the state make regular runs.

Whenever the county is done with more important things.

We live right next door to our township building where the plows are kept, so our stretch of the highway is the first to get plowed!

[MegglesMom]

They're usually very quick... thumbs up to our DPW! Though, if we did get snowed in, I wouldn't mind!

[simbarel]

Ullch. Portland is terrible when it comes to plowing. There are streets around us that get better service (still not great, though) but ours will get plowed maybe once per snowstorm.

[denwol]

Within the first few hours of the storm, we usually get plowed. They seem to come around in 2 hour intervals until everything is plowed.

No snow here in Florida. When I lived in Chicago, the snow crew would be out on the roads in ADVANCE of the storm. Always ready to go!

[Perky2sol]

We are usually plowed fairly quickly. We live on a cul-de-sac, so it would be easy for them to forget us. However, we have a State Tropper and an emergency room nurse who live on our street, and that's what I attribute our getting the service quickly to.
