Thanks for the great information ! (Who knew the plural of CUL-DE-SAC was CULS-DE SAC?) We generally can't plow culs-de-sac either for the same reasons.

Generally, we can't plow culs-de-sac as they provide low to no snow storage. Doing so could cause large berms blocking fire hydrants, mailboxes, and driveways. Culs-de-sac oftentimes have parked cars in them, which further complicates plowing! Read more: Reno.Gov/Snow
Graphic reads: #National Trivia day. Did you know the plural of cul de sac is culs de sac? Did you also know snow plows cannot clear most driveways?

Our crews are monitoring conditions and working diligently to prepare for the next series of storms. Remember to check on loved ones, neighbors, & older adults. Please shovel snow away from your driveway to help prevent berms. Stay safe!
