What Front Entrance Snow Removal Involves in Roy
Entrances are small, but they are where slips happen. In Roy, snow on the ground is brief, about 4 days a year, and only 1.8 days a year bring 1 in or more. Ice is the steadier problem. The area sees 42 freezing nights from October to April, so wet steps and landings can glaze over after the snow is gone.
Big storms do happen. Feb 11–15, 2021 brought 15.4 in in total, with 7.1 in on the biggest day. Feb 9, 2019 brought 7.4 in in one day, and Nov 22–23, 2010 brought 7.3 in. A plan for the entrance should cover both a light dusting and a storm like these.
A typical visit includes:
- Shoveling the landing, steps and walkway to the parking area
- Clearing around the door so it opens fully
- Spreading ice melt on cleared surfaces
