I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas…

The holiday season is upon us. Although a white Christmas is not the norm for the Charlotte area of North Carolina, you never know what Mother Nature will bring. On average, Charlotte gets 5-6 inches of snow annually (however in 2004, the city saw 14.5 inches!) People from the northern states may not see this as a lot, but winter weather can wreak havoc on streets and parking lots in the south, where winter weather is usually unexpected. Now is the time to start preparing for the inevitability of the snow or ice storm. 
  It is important to have a plan for snow removal and ice control before the next event is on the evening news. AA Tex Lawn has been removing snow and ice in the Charlotte metro area for about 9 years. Effective snow and ice removal requires carefully prepared routes and schedules to keep streets and parking lots free and clear for those who have to face the elements. Now is the time of year that we review with last year's clients to make sure we are both on the same page as far as how much ice melt will be needed, which areas are involved, etc. With the unexpectedness of each winter event, we require the green light well in advance so that we have time to train our staff on the routes and procedures.

When the temperatures drop and the white stuff starts to "stick" our 10 snow plow trucks and other assorted tractors and loaders have a route in place to make sure our clients are safe. Then, after our established routes are complete, we are often able to help with last minute storm needs. Our goal is to keep the pavement clear so that fire and medics can reach those in need.

We would all like to enjoy a "snow day" at home with a cup of hot chocolate. Since that is not always a possibility, make sure the roadways in your business or community are available to those who need them by having a snow contract in place.

Happy sledding!
