Colorado - we finally got to drop our blades!

[Plow Babe]

Yesterday was our first plowable event. Our lower accounts had 1.5 inches, and the upper elevation residential accounts had between 3 and 6 inches. All went well, no breakdowns. I had time to spend most of the day training one of our new operators, and he did very well. More snow expected tomorrow and Friday.

We signed up with a local weather service, Skyview Weather. We have been receiving daily forcasts since the last week of October, and they have been right on the money.

Here's to more snow, and happy plowing everyone! :burnout

Congrats on the first of the season!! How about some pics? I know you don't have much, but how about some of the next snowfall? Hopefully I'll be posting some soon- calling for "non-typical" lake effect snow tommorrow!!! Non-typical since its being fueled by a southerly wind hitting a northern cold front- same situation gave us some pretty bad wind storms earlier this year!! This will be interesting!!!!

I can't wait!!!!

Looks like today will be our first event. We have 5-10" predicted on TV. My private weather says 4-6". It is 9:30 am and we just now have enough to cover the ground. Many of our businesses close at noon on Saturday. I signed the last contract yesterday. We now have all 5 trucks an 1 skidsteer full. Late start but finally lookin good !:cash :D

Glad to hear it!
Unfortunately, it's about 60' where I'm at :(
No snow in the forecast for the next 7 days at least...

[szorno]

Well, I spoke to soon about lookin good.
2 of 3 shovelers are down sick with flu, one truck is down with fuel injection problems, and one driver is out sick with the crud of the month. 4 of us got the job done but it was a lot longer day than I planned. I actually had to do a bunch of shoveling. I used the Dakota snowblade I bought over the internet for shoveling. Hard work but saves a bunch of time. But, OUR SEASON IS UNDERWAY ! Yahoo !:cash :cash

[Adams Plowing]

szorno feel free to send some of that snow over this way to make life easier on ya :D we still dont have any over here yet...:headwall

[Plow Babe]

Scott,
Sorry to hear you got hit with the flu crud. It is a real epidemic going around here. We are dosing hard with the Vitamin C, echinacia, zinc, and washing our hands a lot. This is a NASTY bug, some of our friends have been really sick. The Fairplay school was closed last week because so many kids were sick.

How much snow did you get? We only had 1 1/2 to 2 inches. We were amused to read in the newspaper that the mountains got a foot of snow . . . I guess at the top of A-Basin maybe!
