Another thing which is occuring lately is that the Gas Co. and Water Co. won't turn on their meters if they are covered with snow--they did not dig! (it is up to the homeowner or agent to provide access to the meters). We don't know that they aren't turned "on" until I show up at the house and there is a tag on the door or kitchen counter (they don't call you to inform you).
The Gas Co. won't turn furnace or water heaters "on" if the vents are covered with snow above the roof (they will keep the meter locked off).
Also, I can't find stop-and-waste valves under snow (they should be revealed). And I won't turn water "on" to the home if the sub-area crawl space is blocked with snow-ice, because I have to check for all drain valves being "closed" prior to turning water "on" (so I don't flood the place).
