60 dollars an hour is the going rate here for smaller lots.
We do the mall for 50 an hour, but we are there for hours at a time.
That varies by location quite a bit.

Big snow, we are there for days at a time.
27" in one snowfall back a couple years ago, I was there for three days.
It's weird how you guys get all that lake affect snow in West Virginia, and you can see the western mountains of Virginia stop it and we don't get any of it.

I am jealous Dave, wish it would snow! Normally this time of year in Southern Oregon we have about 3 foot on the ground and fresh snow every week or two. This morning I got up to rain and it rained all day!
I want my snow back

I was born in Santa Rosa County hospital and moved to Western N.C. in 1977. When we left home yesterday it was 19 deg at the house. We are now in Columbus G.A. where it is 21 deg and I swear it is ALOT colder here. I've always said its a different kind of cold down there (bone chillin). We are supposed to come on down to Caryville to visit a sick uncle on MLK weekend so we will be ordering sunshine.

Man it is hard to get enthused about snow, especially when you have to fight it every day, to feed cattle. Here we have about ten inches, and the wind rearanges it every day, so you have to open a new trail every day.

Well back ready to hit the sack after another 10 hours out there this morning.

Latest forcast has us hammered again tomorrow.

I am running out of places to pile it up in several lots.

Sounds as if you are having a better snow year than last year.

Hey Rick I feel your pain! I spent two weeks last month with frozen/broken pipes. Had to haul water in jugs from the pump house for over a week! Next time you know its getting below 30 degrees leave all your inside water faucets dripping just a bit, this keeps the water in the lines running and they wont freeze.
