                We have had some recent winter storms as we are not quite out of the spring snow showers.  February saw a lot of snow towards the end of the month.  We have a few snows shoveling tips for our Highlands Ranch residents.  We have many people moving from out of state, many from warm climates like California.  For some this is there first exposure to snow and cold weather.  If we have a few tips for snow for all our Highlands Ranch property management tenants.  You should always avoid shoveling into the street.  If your street is plowed the snow will get back onto your driveway and that is usually frustrating.  The optimal place to put shoveled snow is on your yard, as it melts it will provide a trace amount of winter watering for your lawn.   You should always keep snow out...
