We had our first glimpse of snow here in Western New York earlier this week and the sight of the white stuff has led many Western New Yorkers to think about what is expected coming up this Winter.

Snow is coming to Western New York like it does every winter and of course with that snow comes snow shoveling.

Some people like to shovel or snow blow their driveways themselves, while other Western New Yorkers will hire a snow plow service for the winter.

If you are in the latter, now is the time to get those snow plow contracts signed, sealed, and delivered.

But what happens if you just bought a new home or just moved to a new area? You might not know the past history of snow removal in your area.

If you are thinking about hiring a service, take a look at this list of the Top Rated snow removal services in Western New York. All these ratings are courtesy of Yelp!
