Snow removal in Rochester, NY
Book local snow removal in Rochester
Rochester sees frequent snow through the winter, so driveways, walks and steps often need clearing several times a week. The City plows many sidewalks after bigger snowfalls, but the end of the driveway and what the plow leaves behind are still the owner's job. Older city neighborhoods have narrow driveways and street parking that make it harder to find room to pile snow.

What winter looks like in Rochester
Rochester gets a mix of lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario and larger storm systems, so snow tends to come often rather than all at once. Towns closer to the lakeshore can see different amounts than the southern suburbs.
Typical snowfall. Rochester's official station at Greater Rochester International Airport averages about 102 inches of snow a season (1991-2020 normals). Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020 (annual/seasonal).
