Snow removal is the clearing of snow from drive and walkways to make travel easier and safer. Below is a list of quick tips to help put you on the right track when it comes to snow removal – and help you avoid the risks that go along with it!
Talk to Your Doctor – Before you put on that scarf and coat, make sure your doctor has agreed you are healthy enough to remove snow.
Understand the Risks – If you are removing the snow yourself, make sure you understand the risks of back strain and cardiovascular health problems, and monitor yourself closely while doing the job.
Snow Removal Equipment: Choose the Right Tool – Whether it is a small path, a porch, or a half-acre driveway, having the right shovel, snow blower, or plow for the job is essential.
Know Your Snow – The difference between a light dusting and heavy lake-effect snow can make a big difference on how best to deal with snow.
Check the Temperature – Many snow-melt products are ineffective below a certain temperature. Make sure yours will work when you need it!
Understand the Local Rules – Does your town or HOA issue fines if you have not removed snow by a certain time of day? These can quickly add up into a costly bill.
Know The Extras and Which to Skip – Driveway markers or add-ons for a snow blower can make snow removal easier for a reasonable price, while extravagant extras like heated driveways or heating mats can offer questionable value.
