Hemlock Forest snow mitigation policy. This is the policy the Board has been following since 2001. Please be aware that this is a private organization run by unpaid volunteers made up of property owners of the Association. Although our plowing service is paid, circumstance may result in 24-48 hrs before the roads are passible. Plan accordingly. If you must get out at a certain time consider parking at the bottom of the road and walking.
0-1" of snow or predicted snow - Forest Drive is salted by hand
1"-3" of snow or predicted snow - Forest Drive is plowed and salted although it may not be if conditions before and after the storm are favorable for rapid melting. Side roads will not be plowed because they are generally level.
Over 3" of snow - Forest is plowed and salted and all side roads are plowed. When the roads are plowed depends on the amount and length of snow fall. The current plow can not remove more than 6-8" at a time. If it looks like it's going to be a major storm we may need to plow several times. Note: Forest Drive maintanance ends at 725 Forest Drive.
