This storm came as a little surprise to us. We were hoping to start spring cleanups soon. We started plowing businesses around 7:00a and finished with townhomes and driveways by 4:00p. It started snowing really hard around 6:00a and let up around noon. It flurried throughout the day and we ended up getting another .5" over night, so we ran though all of our businesses again over night. We salted a lot of our places in the morning, since the temps dropped below freezing and it was pretty icy. Overall I think everything went well. I sure hope it warms up soon, so we can get started on all of our cleanups. Thanks to all of our employees for all of their hard work. It was a wet and heavy snow and I know it must have been rough on the sidewalk guys. I haven't received any complaints yet, so that's good.
