The first shovelable snowfall of the 2024-25 season took place today.
City trucks came through around 11:15 this morning to clear and sand Hyland Drive and Hyland Circle. About 45 minutes later, just as we reached the 2-inch accumulation level that triggers plowing service from Skyview Landscapes, their plow quickly went to work.
NOTE: For those who do not recall the "salting" situation, or are experiencing their first winter on the Terrace, our contract does not include it. Before we entered into our current contract with Skyview, the majority of residents expressed a preference for not having it done because of concerns for potential damage to vegetation or driveways/walkways, or to dogs' paws. So, we proceeded accordingly.
However, there is no prohibition on residents making such an application on their own. To check out details of alternatives to rock salt, click here to see an informative article on the topic published on the Old Farmers Almanac website.
By the way, it's only 4 days till Christmas but also only 87 days to spring!
