Snow Pile Management for Properties in Roy, WA
When a lot is plowed, the snow has to go somewhere. Piles that sit in the wrong place can cover parking stalls, hide traffic at an entrance, or block a storm drain. Pile management means pushing, stacking and relocating that snow so the lot stays usable.
Roy sees an average of 6.2 in of snow per season, with 1.82 plow events in an average season. Winter Storm Warnings are rare at 0.57 a year. But the largest totals near Roy, reported by a spotter at Yelm, reached 10 in on Feb 13, 2021, after 7 in on Feb 12. A storm of that size leaves a lot of snow to stack.
Roy also has 42 freezing nights between October and April. Piles that melt by day can refreeze at night. That puts ice across paved areas where meltwater runs from the pile. Placing piles away from walkways and drains helps limit this.
