Compact Equipment Snow Removal in Roy, Pierce County
Roy does not see snow often. The average season brings 6.2 in, and only 1.8 days a year reach 1 in or more. Plow events average 1.82 per season. Since 2005 there have been 11 winter storm and heavy snow reports. Because snow is rare here, most properties have no equipment of their own when it does arrive.
The big storms show why that matters. Jan 15–19, 2012 brought 12.9 in in total, with 8.3 in on the biggest day. Feb 5–6, 2017 brought 9.9 in, and 6.5 in fell on the biggest day. Feb 9, 2019 dropped 7.4 in in a single day. Snow that deep is hard to push with a small blade, and a compact track loader can lift and move it.
Roy also has 42 freezing nights from Oct to Apr. Cleared snow that melts by day can refreeze at night, so we pay attention to where it is piled.
