Granite Hills Group/BR Snow Alert-Action Planned- 2/22-23rd

Dear Granite Hills Group / Blade Runners Snow Client:   

Update on Sunday's Storm... An initial rain / snow mix is still on track to arrive late tonight into Sunday morning. Coming off a warm afternoon today and marginal temperatures above freezing tomorrow, impacts from this initial mix will be minimal. There may be dustings on colder surfaces, but pavements will be wet or melt right back, especially when precip is mainly rain. Then, the main part of this system will really ramp up late day Sunday and into evening / night. This is when the most impactful accumulations will occur, as heavier snow after sunset will be able to cover much easier, with plowable totals by Monday AM. Snow will be heaviest through midnight, trending lighter into the predawn and Monday morning before ending. Increasing winds Sunday night and Monday will also lead to some blowing snow.

Based on this most recent forecast showing the possibility of 3-6" of snow to our area.   At this time our plans are:

DO NOT PLAN a pre-treatment application Ice Control Treatment BEFORE the event - because this event looks to start as rain.

WHAT WE PLAN TO DO:

We WILL BE clearing Roadways and sidewalks within the current scope of your contract.  This will start late Sunday (2.22.26)  and / or early Monday Morning (2.23.26) and continue all day Monday.

We WILL BE doing a POST Treatment of Ice Control after the clearing.

This event looks to be all snow, with below freezing night time temps, so nothing like the January event, but we have also worked on additional equipment needs as we tackle this event.

SNOW REMOVAL PROCEDURES:
 
The Association has a contract for the removal of snow from all Stonehurst streets and sidewalks. When ice or snow are forecast, streets and sidewalks may be pretreated to aid vehicles and residents access, if approved by the Snow Maintenance Chair and/or the Board President. The priority of snow removal operations is to first ensure that streets are cleared to allow access for fire trucks and other emergency vehicles, and then alleviate the snowfall conditions that affects automobile parking, pedestrian, and vehicular traffic.
 
a.  STREETS:  The east side of Stonehurst Drive, north side of Marycrest Street, and south side of Annhurst Street has been designated as snow emergency areas. When snow removal operations are in effect (snow accumulation of two inches or more), Stonehurst residents are to move vehicles from these areas to permit the placement of excess snow from the street clearing operations. Vehicles parked in these areas when the contractor comes to plow the streets are subject to being towed at the owner’s risk and expense by the Stonehurst Homeowners Association Board President, Vice President or a Designated Board member.
 
All streets will be cleared a minimum of two lanes and away from the vehicles where possible. Excess snow will be plowed to the side of the street opposite of the parking areas and on the medians. The intersection of Stonehurst Drive and Route 50 will be cleared to insure that snow piles do not obscure the vision of drivers entering Route 50.
           
b. PARKING SPACES:  Residents are responsible for the hand clearing of parking spaces for parked vehicles.  Snow removed from parking spaces shall not be dumped in adjacent parking spaces.  Also, residents shall not place snow removed from parking spaces adjacent to fire hydrants.
           
c. SIDEWALKS:  The contractor will follow the same priorities as that for the clearing of the streets and will clear the sidewalks up to and including the stoops of the residences.  The goal is to clear all sidewalks within four (4) hours after the snow has stopped falling.
 
d. BLIZZARD CONDITIONS: The contractor is afforded reasonable leeway in time constraints during blizzard conditions.
 
The Snow Maintenance Chair may be contacted for additional information.
