Who is excited for snow season? Not us! We're depressed due to lack of snow.

I want 6+ feet of snow and -38F to make some covid refugees rethink their Montana stay. I'm hoping for a total collapse in the hot real estate market frankly.

Please, take it all before it gets down to god forsaken Illinois.

I would only need 6 feet of snow at a minus 10F............................being blown around for 3 days by 60 mph winds.

Near our house, a guy that started an auto repair business, a bait shop in the back, and a snow plowing business all about the same time. It didn't snow much that year, so plowing was a bust. It didn't freeze over much, so no bait sales that winter, there really aren't any close places to fish anyway, so I don't know what he was thinking with that. And... that was the year for cash for clunkers, so a lot of people scrapped cars that they normally would have repaired at a small shop, so business was slow there as well. He lasted about 2 years, and then sold it all off.

Sometimes people don't think through their business model....or....they just have bad luck.

Yep. I think this one was bad timing with the auto repairs and snow plowing, and just foolish on the bait shop. There were probably 6-7 of them in this area when I was a kid. Now there is one. And he's rarely open. I think it's a side business of the tattoo shop next door!

We see snow when the wind blows from the NW to N. Another photo taken at that location.
