Yes, More Snow!

The snow plow crews are doing a pretty good job keeping up with the outrageous amount of snow we are having this winter.

However, with 5-8" expected on Tuesday night thru Wednesday, you can expect that Fort Wayne and Still Water Place will have some difficult times ahead.  Where will the snow go?  Our mounds are already taller than we are.

Yes, you may call us during business hours.  Please try not to call during evening hours.

The ice underneath is there because of the temperature fluxuation.  For a while we couldn't melt it (too cold).  Then it melted all at once and caused pooling.  Then it re-froze and cause thick ice in some places.

If we could warm things up, we would.  Since we can't - we just have to make the best of things.  Be patient.  Drive slowly.  Let us know if your street is not cleared.  But please realize that it takes time to move this much snow - and we are running out of places for it to go.

Think spring!

Ice and Snow - Best to Drive Slow!

Please be careful as you drive, both in the addition and out in the rest of the world.  Ice and snow make driving difficult.  The board is not responsible for the driving skill of fellow residents.  Still Water has some intersections that are prone to accidents.  Slowing down can reduce your chance of making a mistake - or being too close when someone else makes a mistake. 


Snow plowing doesn't usually take place until the a snowstorm has ended - unless we anticipate a really big snow.  After snow has been plowed, then salt or ice-melt can be applied to intersections.  If we salt at the beginning of a snowfall, then it is scraped away by the snow plow.


There is no perfect world, so we'll all just have to do the best we can.  If you live near an intersection that is prone to accidents, then you can count on accidents continuing no matter what steps we take.  Try to relax and enjoy the snowfall and know that life goes on in spite of our frustrations.  One day in the not too distant future, we'll all be worried about mowing, planting, and too much or too little rainfall.
