When is Too Early?

[markem]

In my area, noise ordinances are at the city level, not the HOA. Here, it is 8am except for reasons of health and safety. Removing snow tends to be a safety issue as is the city suctioning leaves from a flooding storm drain, removing a fallen tree, etc.

In my neighborhood, no one is shy about calling the city to complain about early noise. I have to keep reminding my landscape maintenance people that 8am is the legal start time, not 7:45.

i usually have my snow blower going around 5am on a work day. there is no way I can leave it until I can come home. If someone got slipped and hurt themselves, I would be liable. I too clear my neighbors sidewalk and path.

If any of my neighbors complained, (which I doubt they would) I wouldn't give it much thought. Most of them are senior citizens who don't have anything better to complain about anyway. LOL
