Snowplow

So the mayor of Duluth, Roger Reinert, he does quite a few online posts, social media posts, 'cause that's one way to reach your constituents.

So he gets online, and he's doing, "Hey, Duluth, we're gonna do the Name the Snowplow thing.

Have a little fun going into winter.

You can submit your names here," you know, that whole thing.

Well, did they come up with a list, or they, they asking people to kinda come up with something, and then they send theirs in, and then they, I don't know, vote on those?

Um, I don't see anything here.

It's just the 2026 Snowplow Naming Contest.

You can go to the, um, duluthmn.gov website, and it'll get you there.

only the text line, but a text to me.

Talking about the snow plows.

Blizzard protection is crucial in Mobile, Alabama.

Well, you know, when there's bad weather, hurricanes, tornadoes, they're able to come up with some kind of economic damage report, how much money was lost in the economy because of so-and-so storm.

Yes.

I'd love to see the numbers for that week on the Gulf Coast when the snow turned to ice at the beginning of 2025 because, you know.

It was probably more than the cost of those four snow plows that the Mobile City Council is set to approve or approved yesterday.

But, you know, normally the one or two times every few years that we get some kind of winter storm, it's normally just an ice storm.

I don't want to overcomplicate it.

All right.

Number four, what's a snow plowing job you regretted taking? And what did it teach you to look for when pricing or walking a property? I don't think I have too many specific sites that we've taken on that have really got us bit.

We've only been doing snow for about eight or so years, like commercially, if you will.

What I will say is...

Et cetera, et cetera.

How do you do a half an hour of return visit for plowing on a west side of a parking lot that has drifting 15 feet into the parking lot, but it's three feet tall? Or on the east side or north side of a building that has eight feet of drift off of a 40-foot tall commercial factory? You got to figure out and quantify what those return visits count and how they count and what they're going to cost you or cost the client.

So other than that, I don't think we've really been too far over our skis with anything commercial with our snow plowing.
