ADVISORY:
In effect Thursday 2/13/25 – 8:00 AM Friday 2/14/25: SNOW ACCUMULATION/SLIPPERY ROADS.
In the event plowing is necessary, Maintenance will plow and sand in accordance with our Winter Storm Policy, which can be found by clicking HERE. Primary Roads are plowed first, then secondary, tertiary and so forth will be plowed from front to back gates. There are a few streets such as Hill Court, Pond Side, Overlake down the hill and a few others included in the Storm Policy, that unless plows can SAFELY access, they may not be cleared.
SAFETY REMINDER:
Bald Hills Road is dangerous on a clear day; treacherous with snow and ice. Please drive slowly and carefully. It is 12 miles from the back gate of Clearwood to the ampm in Yelm which takes roughly 14 minutes going 50 miles an hour; you save only 4 minutes AT MOST doing 70 miles an hour to get there. We implore you to drive slowly and remember that yours and your neighbor’s lives are more important than saving 4 minutes of drive time.
The hill by the front gate may be closed due to road conditions. If we close it the membership will need to use the Loop/Vine Lane detour.
