Martin Services begins snow removal operations in early November and continues through April, covering the full Northern Ontario winter season. Our crews and equipment are mobilized before the first significant snowfall, which in the Powassan and North Bay area typically arrives in late October or early November. We provide residential and commercial snow plowing, salting, and sidewalk clearing throughout the season.
When Does Snow Season Start in Northern Ontario?
Northern Ontario typically sees its first accumulating snowfall in late October or early November, though some years bring earlier dustings. By mid-November, consistent snowfall is the norm. Martin Services has crews and plows ready to deploy by November 1st each year, with seasonal contracts starting at that time. Our team monitors weather forecasts continuously so we can respond to storms as they develop rather than reacting after the fact.
Seasonal Contracts vs. Per-Visit Service
Most of our snow removal clients choose a seasonal contract that covers the entire winter from November through April. Seasonal contracts give you predictable monthly costs and guaranteed priority service — your property is on our route and gets cleared every time it snows, without having to call in each time. We also offer per-visit service for property owners who prefer to pay only when they need plowing, though per-visit clients may experience longer wait times during major storms when seasonal contract clients take priority.
End of Season
Snow removal season in Northern Ontario typically wraps up in April, though some years see snow into early May. Martin Services continues service as long as conditions require it. We handle spring cleanup as well, clearing sand and gravel left from winter operations and getting your property ready for the warm season.
