There’s Snow Place Like Home.
Turn SNOW days into SLOW DAYS Smoky Falls…
~ As a reminder, please do not attempt to drive to or from your residence following a snow storm unless you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle, and the proper tires for doing so.
~ For those who rent their homes, please emphasize to your guests that they must have a 4-wheel drive vehicle and the proper tires when attempting to arrive or depart your properties.
~ Inform renters they should bring the proper amount of food, beverages, and essentials to be prepared to get them through a couple of days in case they have to remain at your property until the roads are safe for travel.
~ Reschedule any company deliveries that you may have following a snow storm.
~ PLEASE NOTE: The Smoky Falls POA does NOT own or operate snow moving equipment, and its ability to plow or salt roads is very limited.
~ BE SAFE Smoky Falls! So far this winter, following two snow storms, we have had multiple car accidents where vehicles slid into other vehicles that were either damaged or stranded as a result of people driving when it was too dangerous to do so.

Reminder…
The local Fire Marshall has brought to our attention that some residents aren’t regularly trimming the trees and shrubs adjacent to their driveways, which could possibly block an emergency vehicle from getting to a home or property during an actual emergency. Please understand that every resident is responsible for maintaining the landscaping that is adjacent to their driveways so emergency vehicles can easily reach every home or property. Please reference the “FAQ” tab of this website for more information.
