Welcome to January
Holy moly, the wind today was insane! In addition to dropping about 3-4 inches, the blowing snow and gusting wind created an honest-to-goodness blizzard out there. I hope you weren’t out driving in it! Poor Christian had to go get a prescription for our sick kiddo, and was gone all day, thanks to the storm and precarious driving conditions! Thank God he made it home safe!
As it’s getting late, the gents are already in bed and prepped for another early morning in the trucks/loader. Christian is planning to hit the road between 2 and 3 am to start his route, with Clint heading out once the sun is up. As a reminder- please do not call or text Christian or Clint while they are plowing. This can be distracting, and we don’t want them to get hurt or cause any damage because they are trying to answer your call. Carey and Christin can handle all of your inquiries, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to one of us (Carey- 469.396.4601; Christin- 469.396.6141). Please remember that we are a professional service, and we honor our contracts. Our contracts state that we will be there to clear you out within 48 hours of the storm passing. There is no need to ask if we are coming…if there’s 4” or more in your driveway, rest assured that we will be there.
UPDATE:
Christian left at MIDNIGHT, if you can believe it! If you see him out there, give him a smile and a wave, because that man is going to be tired when he gets home!
Happy New Year to everyone, and especially to Ullr!
They say that how you spend New Years Eve dictates how you will spend the next year, and if that’s true, I guess we will spend 2022 working our butts off!
New Years Eve came and dumped about 5 inches in Valley of the Sun, 4-5 inches in Placer Valley, and a decent dusting across the rest of South Park. The boys were out in the trucks by 2 am on Jan 1, and worked hard for the following 16 hours to clear out everyone on our route. If you had 4+ inches in your driveway, Clint or Christian was there to clear it. They then spent all of Monday and Tuesday shoveling decks, raking roofs, and clearing anyone else who needed it.
Please remember that if you need any assistance, call Carey (469.396.4601) or Christin (469.396.6141), and we can help you out. It’s super important not to disturb our guys while they’re plowing, so that they can focus on getting the job done quickly and efficiently. We know where they are and we know their routes, so just give us shout.
Christmas Eve brings Santa....and lots of snow!
It’s been a light winter so far, and we have endured a few out-of-season burn bans up here in South Park. So we were thrilled to get a heavy dump over Christmas, even if it meant working through the night until Christmas morning. Christian and Clint headed out at 2 pm on Christmas Eve, plowing all night, and returning in time to open stockings with our kiddos around 8 am on Christmas morning.
After a short break over the Christmas weekend, the boys were back at it on Monday and Tuesday (12/27-28), clearing a few more inches that dumped Sunday and Monday. They also went out Tuesday and Wednesday to shovel decks and rake roofs.
If you had 4” of snow in your driveway, Christian and Clint were by to clear it. If you were below the trigger, they checked on you but didn’t plow. If you have any questions about this, or notes on snow storage, please call Carey (469.396.4601) or Christin (469.396.6141) and we can help direct your message to the right man.
Looking forward, there is a big storm coming for New Years, at which point we will resume our standard service, meaning that we will go out once the storm passes. This saves you money, as we won’t use up all your monthly plows in one storm. Please call Carey or Christin if you have questions, and remember to be safe and be prepared. Winter storms often bring the possibility of a power outage. Make sure you have lots of water on hand and plenty of wood (if you have a wood burning stove), as well as easy prep meals. If you are coming up, or have renters at your place, make sure all cars are equipped with chains or adequate snow tires, and ideally AWD or 4WD. Happy New Year! Cheers!
