Local conditions
Somerset's geography and weather patterns factor directly into route planning.
At roughly 2,190 feet elevation in the Laurel Highlands, Somerset is one of the snowiest incorporated boroughs in Pennsylvania, with a seasonal average near 90 inches that rivals or exceeds Erie's lake-effect totals despite being nowhere near a Great Lake: this is pure elevation and upslope-flow snow off the Allegheny Front. Somerset holds a genuinely unusual distinction as the only place in Pennsylvania on record to receive measurable snow accumulation in June, with three inches falling during a cold snap on June 10, 1913. The borough sits directly at the interchange of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-70, so its winter weather draws outsized attention from PennDOT and the Turnpike Commission given the interstate traffic passing through during storms.
We regularly service routes near Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76), I-70, US Route 219.

FAQs
How quickly will a crew arrive after it starts snowing?
Per NOAA's Pennsylvania State Climate Summary, annual snowfall ranges from about 20 inches in the extreme southeast to over 90 inches in the higher terrain of the northwest and north-central regions, including McKean County and the Erie lake-effect belt. Routes are planned from the forecast so crews are already moving once your trigger depth is reached.
Do I need to sign a contract?
No: per-push service is available without a season-long commitment, though a seasonal contract is available if you'd rather lock in a flat rate.
Do you serve properties near major highways or main roads?
Yes, we regularly service properties near Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76), I-70, US Route 219 and throughout the surrounding area.
What trigger depth do you plow at?
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.
Can I request one-time service instead of a season-long contract?
Yes, per-push service doesn't require a season commitment. A seasonal contract is also available if you'd rather lock in a flat rate for the winter.
Do you offer ice management, not just plowing?
Yes: salting, sanding, and de-icing are available on their own or bundled with plowing, matched to surface type and temperature.
