How do you handle heavy snowfall events? In regions with heavy snowfall, handling large amounts of snow quickly is crucial. Members of our in-house team are assigned one area the entire winter, so they know the best route to get there, what to expect for traffic at any time of day, and what the snowfall is like. Our neighborhoods in Millcreek are slightly different than our neighborhoods in the Avenues. We are prepared for both.
