How Gated Community Snow Removal Works in Milton, WA
A gated community has a few spots that matter most. The gate approach and keypad lane must stay open so residents and emergency vehicles can enter. Interior roads need a plowed path. Sidewalks, mailbox areas and clubhouse steps need hand work.
Milton has about 28 freezing nights from October to April, and about 3.95 light-snow days a year that need deicing. Thin snow and overnight freezing can leave ice on shaded streets and gate aprons even when there is nothing to plow. The area has also logged heavy snow and ice events, including an Ice Storm on Jan 19, 2012 and Heavy Snow on Feb 5, 2017.
