All you guys in NY, NJ, CT and MA that are in the way of this weekend storm Be careful out there !!!!!!!!!!
I personally plan on staying off the road during the heaviest of the Blizzard just to be on the safe side !
Hopefully I will get enough to hit all the accounts once before it gets too heavy then I can take a good long break during the worst of it and go back out after the storm starts to taper off sometime after Midnight.
I figure this is gonna be a 3 push event at least !!!!
I'd Rather be safe, rested and alert than off the road and dead !
So if all my residentials are smart, they will hunker down today and tomorrow. If the prdictions are right they will all be plowed out by late tomorrow afternoon or early evening.
And I will finally be collecting some serious payup

Jeff, I'm thinking the same,
Don't remember where??? reading so much stuff online---- predicting up to 12" BY midnight .
THEN it goes down hill from there! I don't think it will taper off till
3-4 am then still snow Sun till the after noon.
Glad I don't have ANY Large stuff anymore, Yea it looks like 3 runs or so.
Stay warm and safe.

I was concentrating so much on my area, I forgot that you guys down in the Mid Atlantic will be getting hit too!!!
Stay Safe and if it gets real bad get off the road and take a break someplace warm and dry !!

3 pushes might be a low number Jeff.............
With what they are forecasting PER HOUR for rates and the wind custs with drifting you may be billing ALOT more than 3 pushes...........
BE SAFE ALL!!!

Just remeber the money you are going to make if you push your self in a storm like this and do stupid stuff is no good to you if you are lying on the side of the road in a ditch or worse ( you get the picture ). Just take it easy do not be afraid to pull off if it gets to bad. BE SAFE AND GOOD LUCK plowing! plowing! :cash

I only plan on doing my driveways about three times . The commercial lots could be a lot more esp with the drifting afterwards.

i plan on doing my residentials two times if we get 16 inches. it's light stuff, otherwise i'd be plowing it 3 times. i have told all my accounts that i will be plowing at least two times. it's not like this is an expense they have several times a year. it's like once every few years, the rest are all one pushers usually.
my commercial i will do every 4-6" i have a feeling 16" is low for the predictions. it's really come down now here, probably 1-2 inches per hour. if this lasts until midnight, taht's more than 16 inches. probalby looking at 2' with major big drifts by the end.
good luck guys. be safe. i got my dig camera all charged up and ready to take some pics. just can't convince my wife to ride with me on the first trip out to take action shots. lol
