We got slamed with freezing rain night before last and rain all day yesterday, lots of fun. Ran two plus tanks of gas through the truck, and 20 yards of sand through the speader. Even I am getting tierd of winter now! ::)

ChaChing$$. Curious how extra this adds to your yearly income? If you don't mind me asking, of course.

Good luck.

Haven't even figured this years total yet. Last few years have been easy winters. Grossed around $10,000 last year about $13,00 the year before.

Sand huh? Got some smart ones there....Cant wait for them to do away with salt all together and use the beet juice..The high ways around here already switched...It would be nice to buy a car and not have to garage it in the winter due to the salt  :-\

I heard that beet juice produces sodium cloride (salt) too. Oh well, i know the stuff is full of sugars, maybe our fire-ants will move up your way. lol.

Hang in there Blazin', just 2 more months. Ought to be nicer by this time in April, right?

Wifey and I are in Ohio now and it's in the teens here at night! Low teens! I didn't bring any gloves.
Redneckchevy, we've been at the Barberton hospital. That must be kinda close huh?
