Boy i sure hope we get at least a inch and a half tonight the old lady is starting to give me funny looks.hehehe

 

[Jason Pallas]

looks like it's gonna mainly be rain - tommorrow it's gonna be back up near 40. I think we may have seen the last of the snow for this year.

 

[ADMServices]

I second that Jason. We MIGHT get another event this year, but its not looking too good. Better start getting a jump on summer services.

I'm 3.5 hours north of you guys and it's not looking much better here either. There still saying chance of snow but thats the old stand by just cover there butts. But we've had snow as late as May here, so I guess there's still a chance. Sure hope it's not over yet....Kraco_1

I hate to be pessimistic, but I really don't think we'll get it todaytonight. It would be nice to plow again instead of just salting, although the salting is a nice way to make money in a hurry.

You guys in Detroit area might be done, but up here we always get at least one heavy one in March or beginning of April.

sorry guys, I took the snow, 6" forcasted for today.

city crew still working on snowbanks removal since monday last week.

 

[Mark Oomkes]

Denis, between you and JAA you guys are really hoarding all the snow. You could share a little bit. lol

 

[Jason Pallas]

I'd sure like to get another push or two in - to help balance some late season repairs. But, if we got an early jump on spring, I'd be Ok with doing some spring clean-ups and maintenance on equipment.

Hey Guys it is only the middle of Feb. Don't give up hope. We often get those late March storms here in Southern New England. Some of these have become major snowfalls.

 

[greenquestlawn]

its snowing here in muskegon I heard 2-3 inces of snow by midnight they said from about allegan north south 1-2. I remember many years the first 15 days of March being bad. usually plow more in March than Feb. Hey any sites that i could find season snowfall for a particular city?

[ADMServices]

wow, there was another accurate guess by the local weather "guessers"

oh, well sleeping a whole night through is over rated.

[Mark Oomkes]

Not even enough to do a full salting, just touch up some icy areas.

 

[greenquestlawn]

We got a decent amount that fell yesterday but the ground was warm for the first couple hrs and most melted (of course didnt plow)

 

[Jason Pallas]

It's over - break out the walkbehinds and start the cleaning. It'll never snow again. I spent last week putting together my two big preseason parts orders for landscaping.
Hey when are all the open houses - I think Commercial Mower has one comming up around the end of February - anyone know for sure?

 

[ADMServices]
