That makes some landscaping guys we know who work up North happy. They have no income during the winter and earn while plowing the parking lots and residential driveways when snow falls.

Many of the plow guys make some serious bank in winter. And this year, they may make even more, as there is a shortage of them. ( It's really competitive, as the cities have more $ to pay them, than some smaller towns, for example. Some of the larger businesses also have the extra $ to lock in contracts.)

My bro managed to avoid ice/snow on roads when he drove up from NC to see us on Christmas. That afternoon he drove out to Western MA to my other brother's house, and avoided inclement weather as well.
Got an email from him at 1:34 AM today, and he's now home in NC. I responded back that I was glad he made it home safely, and that he was kinda like Mr. Magoo with his luck, bypassing any road icing!
Oh, Figgy, I wanted to mention that on his drive up here, he was in your exquisite state of New Jersey, on the NJ Turnpike, before heading for the George Washington Bridge into NY. Did you see him wave to you?

By the way, he said the NJ toll amounts stink -- but not as nearly as bad as the brief drive over the GW Bridge -- I think he said that was over $16 for that puppy!
I like one stop shopping driving on the NJ turnpike. Eat, then get gas, go to bathroom all in one shot at the rest areas.By the way, he said the NJ toll amounts stink -- but not as nearly as bad as the brief drive over the GW Bridge -- I think he said that was over $16 for that puppy!
I recall that the tons of salt sprayed on the roads can wreck havoc on your under body of the car and rust out the body.

One of the problems actually a serious problem-- where the brake lines are secured with clips salt gets in there and corrodes the lines causing brake failure. My friend when his mother passed away got her Cadillac brought it back to SC and shortly had brake failure. Car came from MA mechanic told him that explains it.
