Post-storm clockWhen did the snow stop?
Enter when precipitation ended. We'll show how long it's been, so your crew and your records line up with the moment the clock started.
A planning aid for your records, not legal advice. What counts as a "reasonable time" depends on the facts; ask your attorney.
