Work as a community to plan snow removal in your neighborhood. 

Some things to consider when working out your snow removal plans:

• What areas are priority for clearing to keep the neighborhood and its residents safe?
• Who will clear out fire hydrants so they are easily visible in an emergency?
• Where will the excess snow go? (When in doubt, shovel to the right.)
• Do some neighbors need assistance in clearing their walkways (due to age, disability, etc.)?
• Can you volunteer to use/share equipment such as small snow blowers for a community removal effort?

Sometimes we need to drive in snowy conditions. To be safe on our roads, drivers are asked to:

1. Get where you need to be before the weather gets bad.
2. Monitor weather to stay informed of the latest timing and intensity along your travel routes.
3. Adjust commutes to avoid the worst of the weather until conditions improve.
4. Take it slow on bridges, ramps, overpasses and other known trouble spots.
5. Ensure gas tanks and windshield fluid tanks are full, and take time to update your car’s emergency kit.
6. Watch for pedestrians as sidewalks may not be clear.
7. Don't crowd plows! Give them space to work.
