Snow, Snow, and more Snow
The demand for warm sunny skies and tropical breezes are up here in New England and I can see why. Snow, Snow and more Snow! Another major storm is about to head up the coast and dump another foot of snow on New England. So here we go again. Like we need more snow. I’ve lived in New England my whole life and enjoy the winter…to a point. Every where you look there’s 6′ – 10′ snow banks on every corner, roofs are collapsing , and business just don’t have the room to pile it up.
Here at Manheim New England we have a “few” snow piles. The biggest “Mount Manheim” is 40′ – 50′ high! We could install a ski lift and charge for sledding at this point it so big! Of course we’re not, but what do you do with all the snow.
The cost of snow removal can become costly for local businesses. Most cities and towns have already blown through their snow removal budgets for 2011 and we still have plenty of winter left. So what to do? You can rent equipment that can melt tons of snow in a matter of minutes. You can build your own “Mount Manheim” or truck it out to snow farms.
So what have you been doing with all the snow? For all of our dealers, how have your sales been with all this snow? Are you getting any foot traffic? Are you using online tools like OVE.com to help move your vehicles?
So once again we’ll ready our shovels, gas up the plow trucks, and get the snow blower ready for another fun-filled week in New England while we dream about palm trees and sandy beaches.
