down with snow!

I'm off again today. The snow is getting annoying right about now. I do have a bunch of splices done because of it but I couldn't use them if I wanted.

What do people do for extra income when it snows? ....yes I know snow removal but is there anything else?
 
I'm all out. I grew up in Ma so I really dislike snow. So having to stop what I love doing to move snow blows. But if there is nothing else then that's what I'm doing next year. I'm totally unprepared this year.

Its just raining here. Raining a lot though so not working. Call of Duty Modern Warfare is getting a workout though.
 
I plow for the city of Concord NH on the swing shift. THat's 3pm to 11pm only on storms. But there has not been that much plowing for us this
 
I am trying to plow slush. It is a lot of fun especially when you are plowing dirt roads in the spring!!!!! I am ready for summer!
 
It's putting us behind on a major contract due to clean up issues. My sub work is bringing in the money and doing stuff around the house.

I might be doing some plowing this weekend...
 
I'm in Maryland and we've had more snow that Boston this year so far.

been terrible.

i got out of snow removal 3 years ago, but just had to get back into it at least with skidloader to get some $ come in the business these last few weeks.

tree damage has just been leyland cypress and red cedar and white pine limbs, some blue spruce trees. Nothing big though, many of it, just get off the house or pool and clean up later cause half buried under snow.

we have work, but can't do it, wettest dang fall and snowiest winter i can remember, sucks. Guys haven't had many hours these past few weeks.

then, the ones we do in the snow end up sucking cause too much time spent on the job with snow related setbacks. digging for outrigger spots, things getting stuck, ect....

quite a few barns collapsed around here. got a crane job on one, take off the fallen barn roof sections from the farm equipment using our crane. fun and definitely had to think things out well. All went excellent. being a climber and tied into crane to set slings and cut roof wooden supports was very beneficial to the job. breezy that day though and roof sections once in the air had to be moved quickly to the drop or they would dangerously fly around like a wild kite.

half the fallen sections have been removed here in this picture, crane is parked in it's second spot.

SoCal...low 70s today.

There is a storm coming in this weekend...may get down to 60...1 inch of rain...breaking out the Woolrich.

If it makes you feel better I will be camping this weekend in the storm...out in the Malibu hills...may get a bit wet...it's OK, though, that's why God invented LL Bean, Coleman, and BBQ.

Man, what we go through out here...

I like y'al and decided not to post pictures.

Maybe I will of my trip when I get back on Monday.
 
I love the snow. gives me a good excuse to kick around the house cruising treebuzz and drinking tea. I dont feel guilty about it either because its not my fault its snowing.
 
Got buried Tuesday in the Berkshires, took us 2 hours to get a chipper and a loader pulled up a hill we went down in the AM before the snow started flying. Spent all day yesterday soaked to the bone cleaning up broken limbs and chasing stubs in trees. Today made it to lunch before we got a few calls and had to go out to get some more debris cleanup done. Have a big piece of Norway maple waiting for us at one place we didnt have time for, got it cleared off the house with the bucket and will have to go back later for the rest of it.

I could care less about snow, but damn this rain.
