Most of the year, Davis and his small team reseal driveways, fill cracks in the road, and paint stripes onto parking lots. But in the winter, he relies on plowing snow to make money. At the start of the season, he gathered up customers, and said he'd take care of their driveways when it snows more than three inches."I was out there, every snowflake, with my tape measure in the snow, like, 'Oh, we're at an inch and a half. It's almost time to go out!'" he recalls.
For the first time, Davis paid one of his clients to ride along and help shovel during Friday's storm. He plans to keep doing this for big storms – but when it only snows a little, Davis says he'll do the work himself. Davis charges per visit. If it snows a foot, he can make a few thousand dollars. He says it'll take about four snowstorms to see a return on his investment in the plow. and another five storms for the truck. But for much of the winter, it's been raining instead of snowing."You can't plow a puddle," he says."No one wants you to go plow a puddle."
Climate change has been happening since the earths creation & will continue regardless of what humans do
NOAA is giving us temperatures which have been heavily adjusted, and in fact many of them are just statistical estimates for the many stations which have been closed. One thing they don't adjust for is the urban heat island effect
Yeah. I’ll take the 50 degree rain over snow any day!
MAKE WINTER GREAT AGAIN
Where I lived we hit our average snow for the year already but I'm sure you will tell me thats global warming too
Terrible for the planet, but can't say I don't enjoy this. I hate snow!
need to find a new job during the winter. some jobs will die either due to weather or automation or other factors. remember typists? they were highly valued once and paid $100 or more per hour so many years ago. did we cry over about them lose their jobs? yes, we did.
Good! I haven't shoveled snow in a few years!
Global Warming stickin' it to the little guy again.Whoops,I mean, 'Climate Change'.Thank God for Al Gore and John Kerry throwing hissy fits in Davos for us all.
'It'll be another La Nina winter in southern New England and that can mean an overall mild winter with slightly below normal snowfall. In a typical La Nina, a lot of the cold and snow occurs early.' He should've checked the weather.
Y’all really comin through with the important shit thank u fam
Okay good. Go Brady Go
Nonsense, we know your climate change propaganda is absolutes nonsense pushed by the WEF. This is nothing more than normal weather fluctuations we have ALWAYS experienced, ask any elderly person! Wake up folks! NPR is not a news organization, hasn't been for a long time.
I miss winter.
