On storm days this is where I say what's happening, so you don't have to text to ask. Bookmark it.

Right now Booking for the 2026–27 season

Booking laneways for the 2026–27 season. Plowing starts November 15.

Next seven days for the Orangeville area

The live forecast loads when this page is online. Until then: I watch the Environment Canada forecast every evening from November on, and I start the route once about 5 cm has fallen.

Days marked plow likely show about 5 cm or more of snow. Forecast data: MET Norway (CC BY 4.0), a rough snow estimate from precipitation. Official forecast: Environment Canada, Orangeville.

What the statuses mean

Watching: Snow is in the forecast. I'll start once about 5 cm has fallen.
Plowing: I'm on the route now. Overnight snow is usually done before the morning commute.
Done for now: Every laneway on the route has been plowed. If it keeps snowing I go around again when it stops.
Paused: If something's stopped me, I'll say here what's happened and when I expect to be back out.

Township windrow?

If the road plow fills your entrance within 12 hours of my visit, text me and I'll come back at no charge, once per storm.

Need an extra visit?

A plow before 5 cm has fallen, a laneway the wind has drifted shut, or the banks pushed back: send the ready-written request. An extra visit counts as one plow at your per-plow rate plus HST, a push-back is $60 plus HST, and I'll confirm before I come.
