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

With snowfalls averaging 1 to 2 inches per hour Tuesday, Vernon Hills 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:

I think with snowblowing, etiquette needs to be set to the side. It's a matter of people being able to get in and out of their driveway and what their schedule allows for. Each for their own in blizzards LOL It's the lawnmowers that fire up at 7am on a Sat that get to me. The grass can wait a few hours the snow might not be able to.

Similar to lawnmowers. Not before 7am and done by 10pm.

I don't mind public snow plow drivers clearing streets throughout the night. I wouldn't want them limited to a specific time slot. I feel the same way about neighbors trying to get to work, school, etc. We've had a very managable winter season so far. I'm ok with the early morning residential snow plow guy especially if he or she plows my driveway.

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.
