What is a qualifying snow or ice event?

Edited

Quick answer: Service dispatches automatically at approximately 1 cm of accumulated snowfall — or any freezing rain, sleet, or flash freeze event regardless of snow total. You never need to call to request service; 24/7 weather monitoring triggers dispatch based on conditions.

Snow events

  • Trigger threshold: approximately 1 cm of accumulated snowfall triggers service dispatch.

  • Automatic dispatch: no need to call, email, or request service.

  • 24/7 monitoring: operations team monitors weather conditions continuously during winter.

Ice events

  • Freezing rain, sleet, and flash freezes all qualify as ice events.

  • Deicing is applied automatically when ice conditions are detected.

  • No accumulation threshold for ice — any formation triggers deicing response.

What doesn't trigger service

  • Light dustings under 1 cm that melt quickly

  • Rain that does not freeze

  • Fog or mist without ice formation

Heavy storm protocol

  • Complete Package: multi-visit response triggered around 8 cm of new accumulation.

  • Priority Package: multi-visit response triggered around 5 cm of new accumulation.

This ensures your property stays accessible through prolonged or multi-day storms.
