Current storm timeline

  1. Feb 11, 5:40 AM

    Residential routes active

    Routes moving in normal order. Walkway crews follow plow trucks where that service is on the plan.

  2. Feb 11, 2:00 AM

    Residential crews dispatched

    Trigger depth reached. Crews left the yard for their assigned routes.

  3. Feb 10, 10:40 PM

    Crews placed on standby

    Equipment fueled and routes assigned. Waiting on trigger depth before release.

  4. Feb 10, 5:15 PM

    Pretreatment operations started

    Liquid brine applied on properties enrolled in de-icing ahead of the first flakes.

Timeline entries describe operations across the service area. They are not truck locations and are not an arrival time for an individual property.

We publish operational status, not truck locations or arrival times. Properties are serviced in route order and conditions during a storm can change that timing.

What each status means

Most events move through the first seven stages. Shorter events skip stages entirely — a one-inch event rarely needs a pretreatment or a cleanup pass. The last three are published only when something changes mid-event.

Monitoring Conditions

Tracking the forecast, temperatures and pavement conditions. No crews released yet.

Pretreatment Operations

Liquid brine applied ahead of the storm on properties enrolled in de-icing.

Preparing to Dispatch

Equipment fueled, routes assigned and crews on standby.

Crews Dispatched

Crews have left the yard and are heading to their assigned routes.

Residential Routes Active

Routes are in progress. Properties are serviced in route order.

Cleanup Operations

Return passes, town-plow aprons, walkways and touch-ups after the snow ends.

Operations Complete

Routes are finished for this event. Conditions monitored for refreeze.

Weather Delay

Conditions have paused or slowed operations. Routes resume when it is safe.

Service Advisory

An operational note that affects how or when properties are serviced.

Emergency Update

An urgent condition such as rapid refreeze, ice or extreme cold.

Storm alerts

Optional. You choose to turn these on.

Enable alerts and we'll send a short notification when our winter operations status changes, so you know what's happening without calling or texting dispatch. Alerts cover operations only — quotes, invoices and account details stay in your Jobber Client Hub.

During a storm

Questions we hear most

Why haven't crews arrived yet?+

Residential properties are serviced in route order, not by request order. Every route is built around geography so crews can move efficiently through a town rather than crossing back and forth. During a long event, your property may be cleared later in the route on one storm and earlier on the next as we alternate starting points.

Why do we sometimes plow more than once?+

When accumulation continues past a few inches, a single pass at the end of the storm leaves heavy, compacted snow that is harder on your surfaces and on our equipment. Running multiple passes keeps driveways usable during the storm and produces a cleaner finish once the snow ends.

Why are dispatch times different during every storm?+

Dispatch is based on actual conditions rather than forecasts alone: snow type, accumulation rate, pavement temperature and when the event is expected to end. A dry, fast two-inch event may be handled in one late pass, while a wet, long-duration storm needs an early release and several passes.

What happens during freezing rain?+

Plowing does very little during freezing rain, so operations shift to de-icing. We focus on treating surfaces, entries and walkways to break the bond of ice, then return once temperatures and conditions allow. Ice events often take longer than snow events of the same duration.

How are routes prioritized?+

Routes are grouped by town and neighborhood, then sequenced so crews finish an area before moving on. Properties with medical access needs or steep, hazardous grades are noted on the route in advance. We do not sell route position, and we do not guarantee arrival times.
