I actually measure each account with a ruler. I charge by the inch, but I also want accurate records. Just because Newark where the weather station is, at the airport, got rain, doesn't mean we got rain here. There is another airport 5 miles in the other direction as well. Our weather is different than theirs as well. We are on a mountain. 1000 ft above sea level. That's enough for a difference of 8 - 10 degrees in temperature.<br>I have houses that often drift. Guess what? I charge extra. More snow, takes long, harder to move, I charge more.<br>I had a church with 2 stairwells, about 10 foot wide, and 6 feet deep. When we got blowing snow, they would fill up, trapping blowing snow. I adjust my price accordingly. IT didn't happen every time it snowed, but a lot. When we had the 30" blizzard here in 1996, those stairwells filled up level to the top, from blowing snow. If you didn't know they were there, you'd fall right in. I naturally charged extra for this.<br>Some of my accounts are on the "first watchung mountain" and other's are on "the second watchung mountain". Snow rates vary between the two.<p>~Chuck<p>----------<br>Chuck's Chevy Truck Pages - Snowplowing Central<br>http://members.aol.com/csmith669/plowcentral.html
