A winter weather plan is easier to organize when parking lots are clear and sidewalks are dry. For commercial property managers in Oklahoma City, November is a good time to confirm how the property will be serviced when snow, ice, or freezing rain arrives. Preparation involves more than arranging snow removal. Your provider needs to…

Shorter days, lower temperatures and slower evaporation reduce overall demand, but that does not mean every irrigation system should be turned off immediately.
