Chagrin Falls measured 70.5 inches in 2019–20, and it runs its snow and ice control on a published clock that is worth knowing before you sign anything.
Chagrin Falls is inside the primary lake-effect snow belt — the band NWS Cleveland puts at 70 to over 100 inches in a normal season. Geauga & Cuyahoga counties.
| Season or event | Measured |
|---|---|
| 2019–20 | 70.5″ |
| 2018–19 | 52.2″ |
These are measured seasons and events, not 30-year normals. Outside Cleveland Hopkins, Chardon and Elyria, almost nowhere in this metro has a long-record station, so a published normal for most suburbs does not exist. This site quotes what was actually measured and says which season it came from, rather than inventing an average.
Where the snow belt starts, and why it matters to a quote →Remove sidewalk snow within a reasonable time after a snowfall, treat ice promptly with salt, sand or another traction material, and keep curb ramps, crosswalks and bus stops passable. The Village cites code section 9200. No fine amount and no clear-it-and-bill provision were published.
Residents who place snow into the roadway may face citations.
A historic village core of pre-war houses on tight lots, surrounded by larger-lot wooded property.
That matters more here than in most snow markets. Across Cleveland and the inner ring the garage sits at the back of the lot, reached by a long narrow driveway running the full length of the property. Clearing one of those is a different job from clearing a short apron in front of an attached garage — more passes, less room to put the snow, and a fence or a lot line on both sides. When you ask for a quote, the length of the drive and where the snow can legally go are the two things worth saying first.
The Village limits snow and ice operations between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., resuming inside that window only for severe conditions — roughly an inch an hour or four inches of accumulation. Plan around it: on an overnight storm the street may not be touched until 4 a.m., which changes when it makes sense for a contractor to clear your drive. The Village also states that damage to a mailbox from thrown snow or slush is the homeowner’s responsibility, and asks that trash carts go on the driveway rather than the roadway.
The address, the length of the driveway, whether the garage is attached or at the back of the lot, and what else has to be cleared. Four facts and the quote stops being a range.
