Hey guys, I have a bit of business up near Clifton Park but I need to wait until the snow is gone. How's it looking up there? Anyone close enough to give me a report? Thanks, Scotty One of my salespeople was there this morning. Major roads are fine. Back streets still a bit sloppy. Tomorrow:http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/...cast?query=cli... I need to determine when the snow cover is off the ground, we have to go off road to load and move a boat. The guy does not want me to tear up the yard. Do you know if there is there still snow on the ground up there? ============= Yes, there is. And, the ground's frozen hard. You're probably better off with snow on the ground, especially if you have 4WD and a low gear range. Why not call the guy and ask him what shape the ground's in? Good point. When that snow melts and the ground thaws......... a vehicle an make quite a mess. Heck... even my dog makes a mess when the ground is soft & wet. |

Even the guy who plowed my driveway couldn't hurt the lawn a couple of days ago. The big municipal plow is another story. He took out the first 4 feet back around Christmas. I suspect either cell phone use or cocktails in the truck. |

You buying a boat from this guy, or doing some sort of work for him? |

You buying a boat from this guy, or doing some sort of work for him? I am picking up a mostly finished sailboat from a guy who never had the time to finish it and just wants it gone. I hope to finish it up during the summer.. Nice little daysailer with a small cuddy, sleeps 3-4, room for small kitchenette.. |
