If your business depends on snow to get through winter, it hasn't been very busy.
"Not really,” said Matt Haskins, who owns Matthews Enterprises in Webster. “It started out slow and then the last month or so, it's picked up a little bit."
When the snow means it’s time for work Haskins admits he worries about drivers who get nervous over driving in it.
"Year, a lot of them probably should stay home or turn their lights on."
Haskins says he also notices drivers who don't respect the work of the plow drivers, especially those who get really irritated. He asks you just give the plow guys a little room - and maybe slow down a little.
He knows some drivers don't have any patience.
"We're trying to back out of the driveways or anything like that, yeah, and they just, not a care in the world, keep on going and then they get mad at us."
How can you help? Be more cautious around them.
"Give us a little bit of room, if you see us backing out of a driveway or if we're doing a parking lot,” said Haskins. “You know, we have blind spots just like any other car."
So, do we have enough of the white stuff to save winter for the ski areas or others who make their money off the snow?
"Some people think just because we have snow, now we're making money, but a lot of people are in contracts. It's starting to get busy."
Haskins took a minute from one of his plow jobs to speak with us. He says it would be great if you could give the plows a little extra room – slow down, and turn on your lights to help them see you.
