A seasonal snow contract is one price for every storm from roughly December through March, with the trigger depth, return visits, the end-of-driveway bank, walks, steps and salt spelled out. It costs more than per-storm in a light winter and less in a heavy one; after the record 2025-26 winter at Providence, many owners prefer the certainty.

Last winter was the snowiest on record at Providence. A seasonal contract is how you stop counting storms.
Per storm costs nothing in a mild winter and adds up in a heavy one. Seasonal is the same in either. The comparison guide walks through it without prices, because prices depend on the driveway, the walks and the route.
Winter 2025-26 finished 40.1 inches above normal at Providence, the largest surplus among the Northeast's major sites.
We're a referral service: one local crew gets your request and quotes the season in writing before the first storm.
Before the first storm, ideally in the fall, so the edges get staked and your house is on the route.
In a heavy winter, usually; in a light one, no. You're paying for certainty and priority.
Read the storm cap or surcharge clause. Good contracts say exactly what happens over a set depth.
Tell us the address and what needs clearing. One local crew in Bristol calls to confirm and puts the terms in writing before the first storm.
Plain, sourced answers about snow in Bristol and the East Bay, and one introduction to a local crew when you want the driveway, walks and ice handled.
