Local conditions
Here's what actually affects plowing and ice control in Reading.
Reading sits along the Schuylkill River in Berks County, in a transition zone between the milder southeastern Pennsylvania climate near Philadelphia and the snowier terrain farther north and west. The surrounding ridges, including Mount Penn, can create localized variation in snow accumulation between the valley floor and higher elevations just outside downtown. Nor'easters remain the primary source of Reading's largest snow events, though the city sees noticeably less snow overall than Pennsylvania's northern tier.
We regularly service routes near US-222, US-422, I-176, PA-61.
FAQs
Can you handle a multi-day storm in Reading?
Yes, routes are re-checked and re-dispatched as accumulation continues through multi-day events, with crews rotating on extended storms.
Will plowing damage my driveway or landscaping?
Every property is scouted before the season to mark edges, drainage, and hardscaping, and blades are set to avoid gouging asphalt or concrete.

Most customers set a 2-inch trigger, meaning we plow once 2 inches has accumulated and again as needed through the storm. You can set a different trigger when you sign up.
