CCR Snow Plowing Policy
Editor: Jimmy Reeves
The winter months are always a challenge for our
maintenance staff and I would like to share with you our
snow removal policy. Snowplowing operations generally
begin on primary Ranch roads when snow levels have
reached sufficient amounts to plow. If snow continues
to fall, or is predicted, we are prepared to respond
accordingly. Special attention is focused on hills, curves,
and intersections. When snow has fallen after 4:00 pm,
plowing and sanding will normally begin the next day
between 6 and 7 a.m., so the primary Ranch roads will be
opened by the time traffic is on the roads for school or
work. If weather or driving conditions warrant, a crew
may be called in; at night, weekends, or Holidays. Once
the roads are open and sanded, we will start to direct our
attention to member driveways as time allows. Our
snow removal policy is designed to provide the best
service possible, however we ask that members and
guests try to maintain realistic expectations when
conditions are unpredictable. Weather conditions or
events make it impossible to ensure absolutely safe and
ice-free roads. The use of sand and salt help with traction
and ice removal, however we will never be able to
eliminate all the icy conditions on a gravel road surface.
We encourage you to drive defensively and always
consider avoiding the hills at Wildfowl Lake and Virginia
Hill and consider entering the Ranch at either Feather
Fern or South Entrance gate when road conditions are
questionable. These alternate routes may add a few
minutes; however, you will avoid the Ranch’s steepest
hills. With regards to access to mailboxes, our snowplows
do run the roads and push snow to each side. We try to
stay close to the road edges yet stay far enough away to
not hit any mailboxes. Just like other road maintenance
entities, it is the responsibility of the homeowners to
keep their mailboxes and driveways clear of debris. And,
as always, please remember that even with the best
service; driving conditions may still be hazardous in the
winter months. Our goal is to maintain Ranch roads in a
condition that is safe and convenient for travel.
