Who We Are

Chances are...there may not be enough snow to build a snowman this round...but it could create a nuisance in the am hours.

According to TrueWeather, a weather platform utilized by many contractors, we can expect to receive .5"-1.25" of snow starting at 11pm this evening and ending around 8am tomorrow. The air temperatures will be between 25 to 27 degrees leaving the pavement and asphalt ranging from 28-32 degrees.

Snow Contractors are working with Community Managers, Board of Directors, and Councils to make a plan of action for the Common Areas for snow. Depending upon your community, and the common areas responsible for snow removal and the treatment of ice, a pre-treatment may occur.

Plows and shoveling usually do not occur by an Association or a Municipality until 2" of snow accumulate. So please be careful. It's likely that tomorrow's sun will help melt away any snow that might accumulate, but the morning might be a bit messy!

Reminders during any SNOW Event:
- The snow contractor does not dispatch to shovel snow unless there is a 2" accumulation.
- If your Community provides snow melt products, sprinkle on wet areas. Anything that looks wet may be icy; avoid walking on these areas.
- If you see an icy condition (or snow accumulation) that requires attention, and it is a COMMON ELEMENT for the Community, please contact your community manager at tdavenport@pencomanagement.com.
- Know where you can park during snow storms to avoid having your car ticketed or towed, or from getting a violation from your Community Manager.
- Review your Governing Documents and Rules and Regulations so that you are aware of your responsibility (and what party is responsible for the removal of Snow and Ice from what areas).

SAFETY TIPS:
- Do not walk with your hands in your pockets in snowy and icy condition. This can create you to lose your balance more easily.
- Hold onto railings, doors of cars, etc. for stability.
- Wear shoes that are intended for snowy and icy conditions, with proper tread.
- If possible, do not walk or drive in the inclement weather. Permit the appropriate party to remove the snow and treat the ice accordingly.
- Anything that looks wet, may be icy. Avoid these areas.
- Bridge, over passes, on and off ramps all freeze more quickly that the main roads. When driving, give yourself ample space so that you are able to control your vehicle if you hit an icy patch.
- Prepare to work from home, if needed. Bring home any phones, laptops, or other services that may be required to perform your job remotely.
- Pull out the pajamas, and drink some hot cocoa. Enjoy the beauty of the snowfall from inside your home. And, you can even break out the milk, bread, and eggs --- and see what great french toast can be made.

Stay safe!

In case you haven't heard 🙂 we are expecting snow from tonight into and throughout the day tomorrow. There is a winter weather advisory from 1am until 10pm EST tomorrow for the local area.

According to the National Weather Service, we can anticipate between 2"-4" of snow. Road conditions are likely to be affected during the morning and evening commutes. Slippery situations may occur.

Many schools have already announced closures. Please check with your school to see if this is an actual snow day, or a day where the kids need to log in remotely via their electronic devices.

Please check your Governing Documents and Rules and Regulations to find out who is responsible for the removal of snow and ice from sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking lots, and roads. Every Community Association is always a little different, and you may have responsibilities yourself for snow removal or the treatment of ice on a part of your property.

Some Municipalities or Community Associations have rules as to how soon the snow must be removed and ice treated on sidewalks, walkways, and driveway aprons. Please be familiar with the rules so that you are not cited by the Municipality or Community Association.

Other Communities may have restrictions on where you can park during a snow event. Make sure you know where parking is prohibited, so that you do not receive a ticket, fine, have your car towed, or get plowed in (in which you will likely have to dig yourself out at your own expense).

Reminders during any SNOW Event:
- The snow contractors do not typically dispatch to shovel snow unless there is a 2" accumulation.
- If your Community Association provides snow melt product buckets through the community, use this product to sprinkle on wet areas. Anything that looks wet may be icy; avoid walking on these areas.
- If you see an icy condition (or snow accumulation) that requires attention, and it is a COMMON ELEMENT for the Community, please contact your community manager.
- Snow companies often do not shovel between parked cars, so be super careful going to and from your vehicle. Likewise, not all snow vendors are able to clear the parking lot (due to parked cars), and may not come back to perform further clean up. So caution is advised.

SAFETY TIPS:
- Do not walk with your hands in your pockets in snowy and icy condition. This can create you to lose your balance more easily.
- Hold onto railings, doors of cars, etc. for stability.
- Wear shoes that are intended for snowy and icy conditions, with proper tread.
- If possible, do not walk or drive in the inclement weather. Permit the appropriate party to remove the snow and treat the ice accordingly.
- Anything that looks wet, may be icy. Avoid these areas.
- Bridge, over passes, on and off ramps all freeze more quickly that the main roads. When driving, give yourself ample space so that you are able to control your vehicle if you hit an icy patch.
- Prepare to work from home, if needed. Bring home any phones, laptops, or other services that may be required to perform your job remotely.
- Pull out the pajamas, and drink some hot cocoa. Enjoy the beauty of the snowfall from inside your home. And, you can even break out the milk, bread, and eggs --- and see what great french toast can be made.

Stay safe!

SNOW ALERT:

- According to TrueWeather: Starting at 2pm EST through 10pm EST, we can expect a snow fall of approximately 1"-2". With temperatures on the sidewalks and pavement ranging from 31-34 degrees F, accumulation on these areas is expected to be .5" to 1.25".

Snow is likely to accumulate on the untreated surfaces if they are not pre-treated. Please be careful when walking or driving this evening.

It is also possible that snow squalls can form. This is when a blizzard like condition occurs, creating a complete white out, and heavy downfall of snow in a short period of time. It is difficult to drive or see during this weather, so be extra cautious.

Reminders during any SNOW Event:
- Know your responsibilities for snow removal and treatment of ice. If this is the responsibility of the Association, know their rules (i.e. a lot of snow contracts do not provide plowing or shoveling if accumulation is not 2").
- If the Municipality is responsible for snow removal or treatment o ice, please visit their website so that you know what their plan of action is for this storm (and all future storms).
- If you see an icy condition (or snow accumulation) that requires attention, and it is a COMMON ELEMENT for the Community, please contact your community manager.

SAFETY TIPS:
- Do not walk with your hands in your pockets in snowy and icy condition. This can create you to lose your balance more easily.
- Hold onto railings, doors of cars, etc. for stability.
- Wear shoes that are intended for snowy and icy conditions, with proper tread.
- If possible, do not walk or drive in the inclement weather. Permit the appropriate party to remove the snow and treat the ice accordingly.
- Anything that looks wet, may be icy. Avoid these areas.
- Bridge, over passes, on and off ramps all freeze more quickly that the main roads. When driving, give yourself ample space so that you are able to control your vehicle if you hit an icy patch.
- Prepare to work from home, if needed. Bring home any phones, laptops, or other services that may be required to perform your job remotely.
- Pull out the pajamas, and drink some hot cocoa. Enjoy the beauty of the snowfall from inside your home. And, you can even break out the milk, bread, and eggs --- and see what great french toast can be made.
