Snow Blower Etiquette in Deerfield: What Times of Day Are Appropriate to Snow Blow?

With snowfalls averaging 1 to 2 inches per hour Tuesday, Deerfield residents will likely be using their snow blowers over the next couple days.

Patch wants to know: How late is too late to snow blow your property and how early is too early?

We posed the “snow blower etiquette” question to our Facebook fans Monday and here’s what residents had to say:

As long as you're following the village ordinance, I think you're okay. I believe it states you can snowblow from 8am until 8pm.

Great question, Angela! Personally, I think 7am on a weekday. If my neighbors are still sleeping at 7am they have their own problems. I gotta have enough time to snowblow, shower, and get to work, and 8am isn't enough.

Speaking of etiquette, it would be great if more people cleared their sidewalks as well as their driveways!

What do you think? Should people be respectful of their neighbors and turn off the snow blowers during certain times of the day? Let us know in the comments section.
