Yeah, spring fever is setting pretty hard about now, but usually we don't see spring-like weather until April around here.
Oh, we just got another snow storm yesterday day (about 6") and we are looking at more snow tonight (4"-8"). That should put the skids to the spring fever for a bit, hehe ;)
holy moly sir hhayweaver! That's incredible! wow. I guess you guys are used to it but do you ever get snowed in?
And does the heavy snows affect your business?
Occasionally we get snowed in for a day or two. Back in in 1996 we got over 36" of snow in about 12 hours and we where snowed in for almost a week.
It defiantly affects our business we do a lot of crane work and heavy lifting of machinery and steel which requires us to be up off the ground a lot and we can't do that in the snow.
Howdy again sir hhayweaver! wow, so what happens in the winter, you just get jobs back logged?
36 inches! Were you guys prepared for that with plenty of supplies?
Yes exactly the schedule just gets pushed back, which tends to make things a little hectic for a while but it all works out in the end.
We were well provisioned for sure but things started to get a little tight at the end, thank god the plows finally came through.
howdy tonight sir hhayweaver! Do you guys have your own truck or tractor to remove some snow if it isn't like 36 inches? lol.
We do, we have a couple of tractors with back mounted plows but the best is a small Kabota tractor with a front mounted snow blower, that really chews through the snow. It is 48" wide so I can open my driveway in 3 passes and best of all now plow banks ;)
