halbautomatisch 60 Posted January 24, 2014 You'd better have someone you trust covering for you...........I don't go anywhere in winter I can't drive to - can't be at the mercy of the airlines to get me home if a storm is coming. Remember.....this last storm was only snow showers until two days out and Saturday is looking like something will need to be done, salting at a minimum. I've got at least two storms worth of salt, but we're going to get another load tomorrow to make sure we get through the weekend without running out.

Heavyopp 167 Posted January 24, 2014 I trust "Severe NJ Weather" on facebook for storm information. I have to second this -- he called this past snow a week ago when know one else was saying squat -- I've only been following him for a few weeks but he's been dead on since I've been watching on your trip -- I've been in the snow removal business for over 25 years -- been doing the same 400 unit condo complex for 24 of those years -- I have only taken 2 vacations by air in those 25 years during the winter -- I just don't do it -- way too much riding on me -- the money is good but I wonder if its worth it sometimes -- as they say "it is blood money" -- this past storm I spent 27 hours on site -- mostly in a JD 544E Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malsua 1,422 Posted January 24, 2014 I trust "Severe NJ Weather" on facebook for storm information. I third this. Between him and EPAWA, you can get a good distant heads up on anything in the pipeline. As it stands now, there is minor snow on Saturday and there's potential for a storm on Wednesday but it looks like it's a miss. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golf battery 1,223 Posted January 24, 2014 Well plow 1.5 plus. Probably just heavy salt. all my commercials are offices. So past 12:00 on saturday they are closed. So my guys can handle up to 2 or so inches. Totals just came in 10.1 from last storm. What did you get. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EWC88 24 Posted January 28, 2014 The guys who have FB and follow that guy whose been dead on about weather, have you seen if he mentioned anymore snow any time soon? I don't have FB, don't want one, but want my damn truck clean! Lol and my luck usually is I wash it then it'll snow a second after it dries. So if anyone could mention anything on if there is another snow storm he's predicting that be awesome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
