Winter Reminders – always worth repeating
When snow is forecast park your car in a plaza so the HOA can easily plow the roads. Once the roads are clear move your car out of the plaza so that can be cleared as well.
Back-in parking is only permitted when substantial snow is predicted.
Our landscapers will shovel the walkways once at least 2” of snow has fallen and only after the snow has stopped.
Pick up your doormats so they don’t get caught in the snow blowers.
Ice melt is available in the basements. Fill up a container to keep by your door. Although the landscapers will put down ice melt once the snow is cleared, melting and refreezing (especially overnight) can make the walkways icy again.
Upper Lamont Residents: To avoid any chance of damage to lower units, please remove the snow from your balcony as soon as possible.
Regency Residents: In the event of subfreezing temperatures, open your bathroom faucets to a trickle. The water pipes are located on the exterior walls and this should help prevent them from freezing and/or bursting.
Have flashlights ready in the event severe weather causes a power outage.
With winter here, inclement weather can make the roads slippery and dangerous. Please remember that the speed limit throughout Bretton Woods is 25mph and stop signs mean STOP.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Since many of us tend to “hibernate” during the winter months, it is a good time to have your dryer vent cleaned. Condo VII will pay to have this done once a year. Just put in a work order.
Parking Reminders
Parking is head-in only except during a major snow event.
When you are going to be away or are not planning to use your car for more than seven days, please park it in one of Condo VII’s eight long-term parking spots located in Parking Plaza 29A.
If you park in a handicap spot, please make sure you display your permit. Otherwise, your car will be towed.
Safety Reminder
When walking around after dark wear brightly colored clothing, use reflective devices, and carry a flashlight.
Walking on the grass
It is always damaging to walk on the grass, but especially in the winter so please walk only on the sidewalks and walkways.
Please be considerate of your neighbors and don’t rev your car engines, especially during the early morning and late-night hours.
