About Winter Snow Management
Introduction
For commercial properties, winter presents its own unique set of challenges. Among these, snow management tops the list. With snowfall comes the increased risk of accidents, impaired access to your business premises, and potential damage to property. This necessitates comprehensive and effective winter snow management. In this guide, we delve into the process, benefits, and key aspects of efficient commercial winter storm management. Whether you are a business owner, property manager, or facilities administrator, this guide will provide you with vital insights on comprehensive snow and ice management for businesses.
The Importance of Winter Snow Management for Commercial Properties
Winter snow management goes beyond aesthetics – it directly impacts the safety and accessibility of your establishment. A well-managed property during winter signifies a commitment to customer and employee welfare, boost your business’s image, and keep operations running smoothly. Plus, it can also save you from unwanted liabilities resulting from snow-related accidents.
Elements of Comprehensive Snow and Ice Management for Businesses
Commercial winter storm management comprises several key areas that require your attention. From timely snow removal and deicing sidewalks to roof snow removal, each element requires a thoughtful and planned approach. It also includes preventative measures, such as anti-icing, to stop ice from forming on walkways or driveways, making it safer for people and vehicles. This comprehensive approach ensures your property remains safe, accessible, and attractive throughout the winter season.
Choosing Winter Weather Services for Commercial Properties
Winter snow management can be a daunting task, especially for large commercial properties. This is where professional winter weather services come into play. Engaging with a dedicated snow removal company ensures that both, timely and efficient snow clearance and preventive measures are taken care of throughout the winter. They come equipped with the right tools, manpower, and experience to handle diverse winter situations efficiently. While choosing such services, look out for local companies familiar with the specific winter-related challenges in your region.
Detailed Snow Management Plan
In commercial snow management, proper planning is a major part of the battle. This usually entails developing a snow response plan, defining priority areas for snow removal, determining placement of the removed snow, and executing a schedule for regular site inspections. You should also have backups in place in case your primary snow removal method falls through. A robust plan assures efficient navigation through the winter months without causing major disruptions to your workplace.
Benefits of Comprehensive Snow and Ice Management
Putting a comprehensive snow and ice management plan in place has several benefits. It ensures uninterrupted business operations, reduces the risk of snow-related injuries and thus potential lawsuits, lessens strain on your building structures, and promotes a positive business image. It assures your stakeholders – be it customers, employees, or suppliers – that their safety and convenience are your top priority, even in challenging weather conditions.
Practical Tips for Effective Winter Storm Management
When it comes to effective winter storm management, timing is everything. Prompt action in removing snow and preventing ice formation can save a lot of trouble. Utilize weather forecasting services to anticipate snowfall and plan accordingly. Investing in high-quality tools and material for snow removal and ice management is another key tip. Most importantly, consider contracting a professional snow removal service that specializes in commercial properties.
Conclusion
Commercial winter snow management is an integral aspect of property management during the winter months. Its importance goes beyond merely keeping the property aesthetically pleasing. Good winter storm management practices ensure safety for all who access your premises while supporting the smooth functioning of your business despite adversities caused by winter weather.

About Chesterfield Shores, Michigan
History
Chesterfield Township was originally established as a general law township in 1842. It became a charter township in 1989.
The original European-American settlement in the area was a hamlet called Chesterfield, first settled in 1830. When the Grand Trunk Railway came through in 1865, it stimulated the development of businesses in the hamlet. It had a post office from 1875 until 1907, but has since lost its specific identity.
Geography
Chesterfield Township is in eastern Macomb County and is bordered on the north by Lenox Township and the village of New Haven; on the east by Ira Township in St. Clair County, and by the village of New Baltimore; on the southeast by Anchor Bay, which is a part of Lake St. Clair; on the south by Harrison Township; and on the west by Macomb Township.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 30.6 square miles (79 km), of which 27.6 square miles (71 km2) are land and 3.0 square miles (7.8 km), or 9.85%, are water.
Much of Chesterfield Township is dominated by suburban subdivisions and shopping developments; its population is increasingly diverse, reflecting area demographic changes. In 2010 some 89% of the population identified as non-Hispanic whites; in the late 20th century, the largely rural township had an even higher percentage of whites. Anchor Bay influences the southeastern part of the community, where many pleasure boats, docks, and marine-related businesses can be found.
Communities
There are nine unincorporated communities in the township and no incorporated villages:
- Anchor Bay Gardens is located off Jefferson Avenue at Sunrise Street and Jans Drive (42°38′34″N 82°48′45″W / 42.64278°N 82.81250°W; Elevation: 571 ft./174 m.).
- Anchor Bay Harbor is located on Jefferson Avenue south of Anchor Bay Gardens, between Sugerbush and Cotton roads (42°39′19.1″N 82°47′56.7″W / 42.655306°N 82.799083°W; Elevation: 577 ft./176 m.).

The first post office in the township was established here in 1837 in the house of Robert O. Milton, with the name of “New Haven Post Office”. When this was moved to New Haven, Alfred D. Rice established another post office in Milton. That post office closed at some point, and another was opened in January 1856, with Edmund Matthews as postmaster. This office operated until July 1904. Milton was home to a school, three churches, a doctor, a blacksmith, and a couple of saloons. The last saloon survived until 2004, when it was torn down, at that time it was known as the “Teddy Bear Bar.” The school, known as Milton School, was incorporated into another building, which was torn down in 2002.
