When it snows,
we plow, until the streets are clean.
Please do not call us to complain that we put the snow back into your
driveway. Remind your plowing contractor not to push the snow into the
streets. We will plow again, until the streets are clean
"Curb-to-curb."
An interesting fact: In an average winter, we spread
700-1000 tons of salt.

A foot of snow drops about ONE MILLION TONS on Long Hill Township. Follow the calculation.
1 foot of snow = 1.2 inches of water
1 cubic foot of water = 62.5 pounds of water
1 square foot of snow, 1 foot deep = 0.1 cubic ft of water = 6.25 pounds
1 acre = 43,560 square ft
1 acre of snow, 1 foot deep = 4,356 cubic ft of water = 272,250 pounds = 136 tons
Long Hill Township = 7767 acres
1 foot of snow on Long Hill Township = 1,057,000 tons
