Man am I sick of doing this, we are well over 5 feet of snow this year, it seems like we are cleaning this stuff up twice a week! At least this last storm was only 7" of light fluffly stuff. The wet heavy stuff is a back breaker. Just think once we get all the snow cleaned off, we have to move EVERY vehicle and then put them all back after it's plowed ::).

We are running out of places to put all this snow. The green house across from work is burried from the snow comming off the roof (I hope it didn't break the glass :-\).

It is kind of pretty though? :D

Well, ah, looks like a lot of work, over and over again, I guess there is no easy answer on how to make the job easier, except to tell Mother Nature to take it easy on you all the rest of the winter. :)

Ya know, where I come from we park our cars in the garage so there's no shuffling vehicles all around and having to put them back. ;D

It could be worse, like Oswego, NY a few years ago...

I sold cars for a little while. The two worst things about the job were lot moves and snow days. All dressed up in a suit and tie, clearing snow from hundreds of vehicles.

The owner was a fanatic about lot moves. At least every other day we shuffled the lot. I always spent extra time in the vehicles with heated seats. :P I always wondered why lot moves were so important for this guy. Then one day, the Feds swarmed in and I found out why. 70% of the inventory had three or four loans and no titles.

Those poor customers... Someone would come in wanting to buy the black GTP and get talked into buying a white mini-van. Couldn't sell the black GTP with the four loans and no title.

Wes, Sis, bake cinnamon rolls, then go do snow removal :-\, do't think I'd have that much energy ;).

Yeah we talk every year about putting a roof over the lots :D. I hope it's all most over, I want to go detecting :).

Geeze you didn't work in Vermont did you? We had a dealer around here go out of trust like that, spent several years in jail. Mostly good dealers around here, so small town you'd get caught in a hurry.

Gotta love those heated seats :D.

I'm sure hoping that any day now, it will stop snowing until next winter.

Well, maybe? It's pouring rain right now. ::) All that creates is ICE! Been a wild winter, ton of snow, gallons of water, more snow, you get the picture. I hope it at least warms up to above freezing at night, get rid of some of that slippery stuff.

Don't tell the Hubby I said that! :D

It was in Ohio.

Do you do lot moves at regular intervals? I've noticed, since then, that most do not.

Oh yeah, heated seats are the best, especially on the lumbar region when you're wearing all that polyester. Think I may be allergic to polyester. :P Don't know how I survived the 70s.
