Weather here has been far removed from the rest of the country, not our normal wind, rain etc.

The good thing is Jamie the winter is almost over, just gotta make it another month or so.

I live by Becker and its been a busy winter season with the good weather and virtually every time slot selling out each week.

Past 2 plus weeks and all our cold weather just put a halt on the carpet cleaning. Have had a few water damages, but its always a waiting game to get paid.

Warmed up a bit today and helped to get the phone to ring. Supposed to be warm for awhile and since I'm out of town, it will get busy. Always seems to.

Always happens that way. That brief warm up we had the phone starts ringing, then we got all that snow. Half the jobs canceled. Then the cold again:icon_cry:

Last month was pretty slow, Feb is looking up though.. Kind of expected when the temps haven't hit 30 degrees in I can't remember how long maybe 2 months?

Yea, same here. It's been so cold it's nuts. Lucky if I'm doing a job a day.

last few winters have been somewhat mild, this year we got bitch slapped back to the real world. Kinda like the Broncos in the sb!... Looks like it's going to be nice next week - the 30's! Feb. has been better so far.

We've been really slow too. I'm not interested in restoration work so I know that hurts us but I'm trying to keep priorities straight. Spending time getting website and online marketing going so when the birds start chirping, the Kid is ready!

I saw on the news that the average temp this year in Iowa has been colder than Alaska. Yeah...not too excited about that. I'm OVER the "Polar Vortex" and ready for Spring. Next year we are seriously considering leaving for at least a month in the Winter.

Bring on MF10!!!

I've been busy, almost all of my competition wont go out and clean.below 30.degrees, I've cleaned in as.low as 5. But I have onboard water so no frozen water feed lines for me.

Thankfully, it is not busy. I am reading about the cold and snow in Detroit while I'm at the bottom of the Florida panhandle in Apalachicola. In two weeks time, my season will begin with a vengeance and I will be back to six days a week. I work hard enough the rest of the year.
