Snow Patterns and Changes in Ohio and Fargo
00:02:20
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:02:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's pretty good. so um

RICK JAMES
So.
00:03:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
I cannot remember, i would I would be interesting to see, I'll have Rob look it up or or even Mark, I would be interested to see the last time we've been locked down below freezing like this day and night for this long a period of time.
00:03:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
I mean, this is almost three weeks now. We've been in the teens and twenties and haven't gotten above freezing at all. That doesn't really happen here anymore.

00:17:12
Kyle
Day nine for us.
00:17:18
Kory
Well Kyle, you might have it coming in earlier because you're more West than me.
00:17:21
Kyle
Yeah, it looks like it's going to hit here about 3 o'clock or so.
00:17:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow, how much are you guys supposed to get today?
00:17:28
Kyle
2 to 4.
00:17:29
Kory
Yeah, it's nothing crazy.
00:17:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
And this is all lake effect?
00:17:32
Kyle
No, this is a van.
00:17:32
Kory
This storm is coming up from the South.
00:17:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
and Okay.
00:17:36
Kyle
Lake Effect's supposed to kick in afterwards, though.
00:17:36
Kory
Yeah.
00:17:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, good.
00:17:39
Kyle
Tomorrow.
00:17:40
Kyle
So, yeah.
00:17:40
RICK JAMES

00:17:41
Kory
I think it's gonna be mostly yeast though.
00:17:43
Kyle
And I hope. I hope.
00:17:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah Well, ah what are the, uh, what are the weather guys saying?
00:17:49
Kyle
Uh, screw weather has 100%, 100%, two to four.
00:17:50
Kory
this
00:17:53
RICK JAMES
Oh, never heard that before.
00:17:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay. Would you call that a lock? Would you call that a lock?
00:17:58
RICK JAMES
Are you invoicing already?
00:17:59
Kyle
That's a home run. We haven't heard that before.
00:18:04
RICK JAMES
Did you pre-invoice?
00:18:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
Uh, definitely.
00:18:07
Kyle
Yeah, I get.
00:18:08
Kyle
I mean, fuck, 100%, right? Yeah.
00:18:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah They're already printed.
00:18:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh man.
00:18:14
RICK JAMES
no
00:18:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
They don't like that.
00:18:16
RICK JAMES
fuck
00:18:18
Kyle
yeah
00:18:24
RICK JAMES
ah No one never gets old.
00:18:24
Kory
Those poor guys.
00:18:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
They love it. I can't hear that one enough. that That's my favorite one.
00:18:29
RICK JAMES
No.
00:18:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
I can't hear that enough.
00:18:31
RICK JAMES
That was my favorite.
00:18:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
They actually love it. They know we're just kidding with them. It's hard to do.
00:18:34
Kory
Yeah.
00:18:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
hu
00:18:36
RICK JAMES
yeah They expect it.
00:18:37
Kyle
The radar went down here It
00:18:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
But yeah, I mean Yeah, tell me ah tell us about this broken radar.
00:18:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
I mean isn't it kind of always broken really?
00:18:43
Kyle
was I mean, yeah, but
00:18:46
Kory
not Not this broken just never stopped the suit it was timed up like perfect in
00:18:48
Kyle
we ah like We weren't getting livecast alerts. It's fucking snowing like crazy. We can't figure out where it's coming from, where it's tracking, where it's going. And yeah, that really kind of caught us off guard. But when we were out, we were still treating. But we definitely got more than what we thought we were going to be getting. Yeah.
00:19:12
Kory
Basically, you'd go out, get everything cleaned off in salt. And then here comes like 930, 10 o'clock in the morning, you get everything.
00:19:19
Kyle
Yep.
00:19:19
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:19:19
Kory
Like for us, we do a wash down on every truck after we're done.
00:19:23
Kyle
Yep.
00:19:24
Kory
We get everything washed.
00:19:25
Kory
And as we're doing the last five trucks, all of a sudden it starts snowing again and be like, here we go.
00:19:29
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:19:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Hmm.
00:19:31
Kyle
Yeah.
00:19:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Hmm.
00:19:33
Kyle
Yeah, that was crazy. Uh, from what I heard, I guess it's back up and running. I don't know. I don't, I don't quite understand how the fuck that happens though.
00:19:33
Kory
But
00:19:33
RICK JAMES
So.
00:19:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, I was gonna say, how does it just go down for what, Northeast Ohio you said or something?
00:19:46
Kyle
It was weird. You could watch it hit Toledo. Yeah, like you'd see it hit Toledo and then it hit Toledo and just be nothing until it got pretty far east.
00:19:46
Kory
It was just a 30 mile radius.
00:19:54
Kory
Yeah, it was just, like if you went from Cleveland, it was like, I forget what they said. It was like 30 or 60 miles or something radius of Cleveland. So you would see snow in Youngstown, you would see snow in Columbus area, Toledo, but it would just disappear as it got close to that like radius.
00:20:03
Kyle
Yeah.
00:20:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
Somebody jammed it.
00:20:13
RICK JAMES
Oh, you're in the clear.
00:20:14
Kory
Yeah.
00:20:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
Somebody jammed it.
00:20:15
RICK JAMES
You're in the clear. It's just clear there.
00:20:15
Kyle
Good luck.
00:20:17
Kory
There was a Canadian goose sitting on the satellite.
00:20:17
RICK JAMES
You're in the clear.
00:20:19
Kyle
Yeah. Right. but
00:20:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
Uh, somebody gave him the raspberry, jammed them.
00:20:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh man.
00:20:26
RICK JAMES
know
00:20:27
Kyle
Yeah, that sucked.
00:20:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's crazy.
00:20:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
So how long was it down for?
00:20:31
Kory
It just went back up this morning, right?
00:20:31
Kyle
I don't know. Yeah, I would say probably 20, I don't know, 24 hours or something.
00:20:35
Kory
It was like two days, something like that.
00:20:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow.
00:20:39
Kyle
So they turned something on last night at the airport and it gave us some sort of radar, but it really wasn't worth the shit. Or maybe it was the night before. I don't, I don't know what the fuck day it was, but We had something, but it wasn't normal, put it that way.
00:20:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
So nine days, nine days in a row, you've had plowable snow.
00:20:55
Kyle
Nine days straight.
00:20:57
Kory
Yeah.
00:20:57
Kyle
um Yeah. I mean, we've had to scrape, scrape something, whether it's, it's been cool as shit, so.
00:21:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
No shit.
00:21:01
Kory
Yeah, it's been nice fluffy stuff.
00:21:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. Yeah, we got a couple of them too.
00:21:07
Kory
Personally, I like it because it gets every like we in nine days we already cut our efficiencies in half.
00:21:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
I know.
00:21:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:21:14
Kory
Like it literally like that's, that's a heart the hardest thing about slow winners is how nobody gets practice.
00:21:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yes.
00:21:21
Kyle
absolutely yeah
00:21:21
Kory
And
00:21:22
Kory
For all these new guys, I mean, sure, we have a big group of people that have been plowing for 10, 15, 20 years, but all these other guys are, you know, some are one year, some are three years, and they haven't got any practice to perfect their abilities, so in nine days, we've already seen stuff speed up tremendously.
00:21:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
100%.
00:21:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. 100%. 100%. That, that is.
00:21:43
Kory
And you get out of a sleep schedule, I mean, you can stay up from midnight to six o'clock at night, a few hours and be back at it and your body's more used to it.
00:21:55
Kory
I mean, it's still not great. But that yeah, but it's yeah, right.
00:21:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, it's still not healthy but oh Man, so yeah, that's wild nine days in a row.
00:21:59
Kory
But at least it's a pattern.
00:22:00
Kyle
It's become the new normal.
00:22:01
Kory
You know what I mean? It's a pattern. So
00:22:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
So Kyle what has been the snow totals? You guys have been getting for the nine days like anything big.
00:22:12
Kyle
I just, I just added all the snow, the certified snow totals show 7.6 in the last nine days.
00:22:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Been nine days. so Oh, absolutely.
00:22:20
Kyle
But I mean, I don't know, a lot of that's fucking blown around and just, you know, I would say realistically maybe closer in that four to six range is what we have on the ground.
00:22:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay. Gotcha.
00:22:31
Kyle
So I think where you got more, right?
00:22:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
So it's just enough to get you out there scraping.
00:22:35
Kory
Yeah, we got a lot more.
00:22:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
All right. What have you, what have you had Corey?
00:22:38
Kory
ah
00:22:40
Kory
Medina, so we we only plow in like a 10 mile radius of our shop, but it's basic, yep, the triangle.
00:22:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. The triangle.
00:22:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
die in a triangle.
00:22:50
Kory
and it's time But it's honestly a super crazy area because if you go 10 minutes north of our shop, the weather's completely different than 10, 15 minutes south of our shop.
00:23:00
Kyle
Yep.
00:23:01
Kory
So the north side, Brunswick area, they had like, I think 12.6 inches, I think a few days ago is what the reading was.
00:23:10
Kory
Um, but I
00:23:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
Weather Patterns and Lake Effect Snow
00:23:12
Kory
would say on average across the area, we're like around that six to 10 somewhere variation.
00:23:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
okay
00:23:18
Kory
It's hard to tell by what's on the ground because the stuff's so powdery.
00:23:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:23:22
Kory
The sun does come out. It goes from two to one. Cause we had a few days in a row where we call pushes. And by the time you got to the last account, you were like, eh,
00:23:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:23:34
Kory
I'm just gonna because I'm here like it's it's because that that that powder just like you were saying backpack blowers we were blowing sidewalks so often it was nice so it's nice plowing it's easy stuff doesn't break when it's that like shit you know so everyone gotten good rhythms I definitely enjoyed it it's been a few years since we've had a nice you know run for plowing
00:23:35
Kyle
Yeah.
00:23:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:23:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:23:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, it definitely has us too.
00:23:58
Kyle
Absolutely.
00:24:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
I mean, it's, it's been the same here. We've, it's I think eight years, eight years, it's been since we've had that activity December in the winter where we had whatever five, six pushes and that many salts to go on top of it it.
00:24:08
Kory
when two
00:24:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's been busy. So this is good.
00:24:15
Kory
Yeah, a few years ago you guys.
00:24:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
I like neutral winners. What'd you say Corey? Sorry.
00:24:19
Kory
Wasn't a few years ago you guys didn't even get snow.
00:24:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah Not us New York City hasn't gotten snow like in years like yeah Like I know Jordan keeps saying that like the Metroplex in New York, you know Boston hasn't gotten snow But you go like an hour and when you leave New York City, you're immediately starting to head uphill
00:24:25
Kory
Oh, OK.
00:24:39
Kory
gotcha
00:24:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Basically, so by the time you, uh, you know, by the time you get an hour and a half away, you, you have snow, you have snow, you know, probably 45 minutes north of the city.
00:24:40
Kory
Gotcha.
00:24:48
Kory
That makes sense.
00:24:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
You start getting, you're back into your 40 inch average or 30 inch average and it goes back. But yeah, I mean, but we've had, we've had winters that were 40, you know, the or 30, I think 35 is the lowest one we've had in the last 10 years.
00:25:05
Kory
That was pretty consistent, Mom.
00:25:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, we're pretty, my little neck of the woods is pretty consistent. Yeah. It's been pretty consistent, but I mean, consistency out the window. A couple of years ago, we had 92, you know, we had two monster nor Easters and yeah, who knows?
00:25:21
Kory
we use
00:25:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
But, uh,
Managing Crew Fatigue and Logistics
00:25:22
Kory
system Yeah, hundred percent.
00:25:23
Kyle
Yeah.
00:25:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
well you guys, I mean the lake effect you usually can count on, right?
00:25:24
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:25:24
Kyle
Been a while.
00:25:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
So that that does a lot with consistency. like we don't get any ah the The funny thing about us is we've gotten Lake Effect bands that have actually reached us but last this winter and last winter where they've never reached us before that.
00:25:31
Kory
Yeah.
00:25:42
Kyle
like
00:25:42
Kory
That's wild.
00:25:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
They've died out 70, 80 miles west of us. And now they're reaching us and we're actually, you know, you get the old call. Oh, uh, Hey, are you looking out the window right now?
00:25:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's snowing and you call the weather guys. Hey, uh, we're getting, we're getting coverage here in Fishkill. Oh, there's nothing on the radar.
00:25:59
Kyle
Yup.
00:26:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
Must be a lake effect ban. Oh, oh, really? Oh, really?
00:26:03
Kyle
A lot of that. no
00:26:10
RICK JAMES
ah
00:26:11
Kyle
A lot of that this week.
00:26:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nothing on the radar can't help you.
00:26:11
RICK JAMES
oh
00:26:12
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:26:15
RICK JAMES
Oh, I think it's only consistent thing here is wind and the fucking cold song.
00:26:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
Maybe, maybe their radar was broken.
00:26:22
Kyle
Yeah, it's definitely been plenty cold, that's for damn sure.
00:26:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:26:24
Kyle
There ain't no end in sight for that.
00:26:25
Kory
Yeah.
00:26:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, Jeremy, you don't, you get clippers, right?
00:26:26
Kory
Good.
00:26:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
You don't, basically the Alberta clippers.
00:26:29
RICK JAMES
Oh yeah. Yup.
00:26:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
So it's funny. Everybody has a different.
00:26:32
RICK JAMES
Alberta Clippers, Calcutta Clippers. You need to name a clipper or we'll get her.
00:26:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sacramento reach around yeah Is it Is that is that how it goes that that's how it works when the lake ice is over it's over and
00:26:38
Kory
Yeah.
00:26:39
RICK JAMES
Those are my favorite.
00:26:42
Kyle
That lake's icing up quick. I bet but my Sunday will probably be better.
00:26:43
RICK JAMES
Don't make me.
00:26:46
RICK JAMES
Oh yeah. Yeah, I've got ice. And then you're done. And then you're done, right? With lake effect when she ices up.
00:26:52
Kory
a
00:26:52
Kyle
Hopefully, I don't know.
00:26:55
Kyle
It's gonna take a while to freeze out though.
00:26:55
Kory
Then we get it from Lake Michigan, though.
00:26:57
Kory
We can get Lake Michigan snow, too, if the wind comes, right?
00:27:00
Kyle
Yeah.
00:27:04
Kory
Yeah. um I mean, yeah.
00:27:05
Kyle
It's not, let's say over, but it helps.
00:27:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:27:08
Kory
how It depends on the wind like I know for Kyle and myself we get the worst lake effect if it's a true north wind or ah just a little northwest. As soon as it goes to a West wind, that's when like all the boys that got three foot a couple years ago or a couple weeks ago get it bad like Buffalo and everything.
00:27:19
Kyle
Absolutely.
00:27:27
Kyle
Yep.
00:27:28
RICK JAMES
Mm-hmm.
00:27:28
Kyle
Yep.
00:27:31
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:27:31
Kory
But.
00:27:31
Kyle
We got a machine stuck out on a shoreline job out on the lake at the bar, just trying to break through all the ice right now to get picked up before we get completely iced in.
00:27:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nice.
00:27:41
RICK JAMES
Oh, just drive it across.
00:27:42
Kory
That sounds fun.
00:27:43
Kyle
Yeah.
00:27:44
RICK JAMES
It'll be fine.
00:27:45
Kyle
Yeah. Just wait for it to ice up.
00:27:48
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:27:48
Kyle
yeah
00:27:49
RICK JAMES
I mean, did you ever watch show ice road truckers? There you go.
00:27:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
but
00:27:52
Kyle
Yeah. Yeah.
00:27:54
Kyle
That'd be a far way to track.
00:27:54
RICK JAMES
You'll be fine until you're not.
00:27:57
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:27:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man.
00:27:57
Kyle
They've been trying to get out of the river all morning.
00:28:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
All right. So both of you guys have got s snow. You both got a little bit different amounts, but it's steady eight, nine days. What are the challenges?
00:28:06
Kyle
Consistent.
00:28:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
What are the challenges you guys have faced for nine days in a row and now a day off and maybe in more snow on the 10th day?
00:28:10
RICK JAMES
Oh!
00:28:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
You know, what what challenges have you guys had to face and overcome? That's what the I want to know. Corey, start with you.
00:28:22
Kory
So our biggest thing, honestly, since I've been doing this so long, unfortunately, you see all the gray hair in my beard. ah we're we're We were ready for it. we're We're very well equipped. Basically, it's just pep talking the guys to keep them going.
00:28:40
Kory
ah
00:28:40
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:28:41
Kory
It's you have to be very strategic. I see a lot of these young companies just running their guys around the clock. And you got to learn that there's this secret little gap of time from 8pm to midnight where you can let everyone go home and sleep. Unless you have a high priority site, you got to keep the you know someone out for that. but you can basically let everyone go home and sleep and that little three four hour increment of sleep is like a lifesaver to get them back in and plow so I would say that's the biggest challenge is just getting getting them some sleep and keeping that attitude in check we have huge expectations on positive attitudes because in snow that that will spread fast with negativity so
00:29:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm hmm.
00:29:31
Kory
Honestly, I concentrate
Equipment and Salt Supply Issues
00:29:32
Kory
on that heavily, like just big time communication, pep talk and everybody. um Logistics, basically, we have a lot of extra equipment. So when stuff breaks, we just hook up to another implement. But that's definitely a challenge. This light snow, we haven't had many things go down. So we've been lucky in this case. Now, if this keeps going,
00:29:55
Kory
the switch will flip overnight. At some point, all of a sudden we'll have, you know, this loader is doing this, this truck is this, blah, blah, blah. So right now, this was our first big run of winter and we have zero broken pieces of equipment and were we're going strong. Everyone, we got this break. I think it came in clutch for for everyone was looking pretty wore out yesterday.
00:30:19
Kyle
absolutely yeah
00:30:20
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:30:20
Kory
They were like that. I feel like we were like reaching the end where people were going to start caving. So we got a 24 or whatever hour break and they'll be ready to go tomorrow night. So for today I should say I cannot keep track of days.
00:30:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nice. Today, right? Tonight?
00:30:35
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:30:35
Kory
My days are all screwed up, but.
00:30:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:30:36
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:30:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
Tonight, yeah. Three P's in a Z. Pep talk pizza, pay them well, and get him get a couple hours.
00:30:41
Kory
Yeah.
00:30:41
Kyle
yeah
00:30:43
Kory
Yeah, so it's been a little bit of an issue. We we have like 5600 ton in our bin. but we weren't anticipating nine days straight. So we were like,
00:30:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's it.
00:30:55
Kory
We were getting halfway down. It was like, yeah, that's all right. It's going to slow down. We'll order. you know We'll get it in. No big deal. We keep a lot on hand. And all of a sudden it kept going. It's like, all right, we're a quarter way left.
00:31:07
Kory
We start calling. And of course, everybody did the same thing. So they're calling. And then Cargill had a transformer blow up. So they were like, no salt loads yesterday.
00:31:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Probably salt damage.
00:31:18
Kory
Because he couldn't run the the yeah they couldn't run the scale house.
00:31:20
Kyle
but
00:31:22
Kory
So we're good that was a little a little scary like just No one wants to run out of salt, but we'll get it.
00:31:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
the
00:31:29
Kory
We'll get it all filled back up
00:31:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Cool. What about you, Kyle? What are the challenges you guys have faced nine days in a row? how do you over what are you What are you having to overcome?
00:31:38
Kyle
Biggest thing was the hours. I mean just like Cory was saying overall the guys did spectacular.
00:31:45
Kyle
I mean, for the shovel crews, especially, they were just running their fucking tails off. You know, most of our shovel crews, excluding our large industrial site, they're on a mobile route where they're just doing laps and laps and laps.
00:31:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:32:01
Kyle
And on day like, you know, maybe four or whatever, I think they're just fucking tired of doing the same.
00:32:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh yeah.
00:32:08
Kyle
So we tried to split the routes up. We were kind of like sending them off different places just to attempt to get them a little bit different places to be at and break it up. But finally, last night was the first night that nobody's had to work. um My operations manager was out for the first big event. That kind of sucked, but you know we got through it. He was supposed to be gone again.
00:32:38
Kyle
for this event coming in. their flights get He was going to a football game. Their flights got canceled. So he's here now. So that's great.
00:32:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Going to see Ohio State lose.
00:32:46
Kyle
But yeah, yeah.
00:32:46
RICK JAMES
ah
00:32:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nice.
00:32:49
Kory
You better settle down.
00:32:52
RICK JAMES
ah Oh, you better settle down. He popped up on that one.
00:32:54
Kory
but
00:32:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
fuck go but go
00:32:56
Kory
yeah
00:32:57
RICK JAMES
oh
00:32:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
but
00:32:58
Kyle
Yeah, I don't follow sports.
00:32:59
Kory
oh we got we don't have the browns right so
00:33:02
Kyle
Yeah, I don't really give a shit what happens with that.
00:33:03
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:33:05
Kyle
but
00:33:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah ah
00:33:07
Kyle
Uh, yeah, I mean, the hours were the worst thing. Luckily breakdowns were pretty minimal. I would say we had some storm vision issues. Uh, we had some deaf issues on a one loader.
00:33:19
Kyle
Luckily got taken care of.
00:33:22
Kyle
Fucking some electrical issues.
00:33:22
RICK JAMES
Death issues?
00:33:23
RICK JAMES
Are you s- No.
00:33:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
I'm shocked.
00:33:25
Kyle
Yeah.
00:33:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
Death issues.
00:33:27
Kyle
Nothing, nothing too crazy though. Knock on wood. Uh, salt got a little sketchy the other day we were close. We ran out at one location. Um, We've surpassed a thousand ton for the season, which I don't know the last time that's fucking happened in January for sure.
00:33:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Hmm.
00:33:45
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:33:45
Kyle
But we're all stocked back up. Our hot pink orders are going out like crazy. We shipped hot pink to Columbus yesterday. That's the first time we've ever done that.
00:33:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
Really?
00:33:56
Kyle
Yeah, so that's that side of the business has been really good. Logistics is terrible on that right now though. We can't get enough trucks. Bagging facilities are up in Brighton, Michigan, and we cannot get enough trucks to keep up with what we're selling.
00:34:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
Hmm.
00:34:12
Kyle
but So talk to a couple different trucking companies this morning, hoping to get that issue resolved. And we got more coming in this afternoon, hopefully before the snow hits. um
00:34:25
Kyle
Aside from that, I don't know, man. We're plugging through it. The guys are definitely wore out, I would say, but this 24-, I don't know, 30-, 30-hour break, I think, is going to get them fueled back up.
00:34:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
two to four
00:34:38
Kyle
Everyone's still in good spirits.
00:34:39
Kory
Oh yeah.
00:34:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
what was the issues with the storm vision minor stuff
00:34:40
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:34:43
Kyle
Uh, software. Yeah, some sort of still not fixed software issue. Basically the battery indicator is showing it dropping rapidly and
Brine Production and Equipment Solutions
00:34:53
Kyle
being at 0%.
00:34:54
Kyle
And which tail I thought it would stop working. Um, the operator that runs that machine that it's on, he was off. I was in his machine. So I kept running it and it never died.
00:34:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:35:06
Kyle
Brought the battery back, battery tested good. voltage was still up. So it turns out it's some sort of software issue where it's not reading the battery accurately.
00:35:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, interesting.
00:35:17
Kyle
Knock on wood.
00:35:17
Kory
there's another guy that's happening too
00:35:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
So it didn't stop. It didn't stop working. It just wasn't reading the battery.
00:35:21
Kyle
No.
00:35:23
Kyle
Yeah, knock on wood.
00:35:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Got it.
00:35:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
All right. So that's minor.
00:35:26
Kyle
So yeah, just you don't really know when it's going to die, but hopefully it just doesn't die, I guess.
00:35:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah Oh shit.
00:35:34
Kyle
Aside from that,
00:35:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
All right. How, when it's working, how do you like that?
00:35:37
RICK JAMES
and plus you
00:35:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
I don't, I haven't talked to anybody yet.
00:35:39
Kyle
No, it's cat's ass, man.
00:35:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
has Is it good?
00:35:41
Kyle
That thing is fucking sweet, yeah.
00:35:42
Kory
There's another guy that's happening too.
00:35:44
Kyle
Yeah, especially on the especially on the bigger plow. like That one's on a 10-26. Trying to level out a six-foot wing is it's pretty tricky. So yeah, I like it a lot.
00:35:44
RICK JAMES
you
00:35:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
It looked great at Simon.
00:35:56
Kyle
I don't know if it's really necessarily worth it on the smaller ones, like the 10-16s. Those are easy enough, I think, to level out. But the bigger ones, for sure, kick ass.
00:36:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
Cool. Very cool.
00:36:08
Kyle
So. Last issue would be our ah trying to get enough Brian made and stored. that's been a like We have no fucking time to make Brian when you run for nine days straight.
00:36:20
Kyle
so Brandon's down there right now.
00:36:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:36:22
RICK JAMES
That's because you keep buying That's because you keep buying sprayers and you just keep adding sprayers to your fleet in the middle of winter and
00:36:23
Kyle
hes He's making as much as he can.
00:36:29
Kyle
yeah Yeah, we picked up another two sprayers this week.
00:36:32
Kyle
We got a couple more 3,000 gallon tanks coming today.
00:36:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Jesus.
00:36:37
Kyle
Need to find a tank or something.
00:36:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
why Why are you scraping anything?
00:36:39
RICK JAMES
He's Mr. Marketplace.
00:36:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
if you If you're using all this brine, you shouldn't have to really scrape anything. if Just agitate it as much as glacier.
00:36:45
Kyle
If I had enough brine made, yeah.
00:36:48
RICK JAMES
You need fire, Brian.
00:36:50
Kyle
I need to get it. Yeah. No, we just need more. We need more made. We need more it's stored. That's our hurdle right now.
00:36:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
You need the angry brine.
00:36:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
h How much do you have storage for?
00:36:59
Kyle
So, shit. We probably have at least 30,000 gallons, I would say at this point. We've bought a shit ton of tanks in the last couple of months.
00:37:07
RICK JAMES
so
00:37:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
How quick do you go through that though?
00:37:10
RICK JAMES
send the truck rent you one of my tankers i got three i got three of them sitting you you need a tanker i'll rent it to you for the winner i ain't driving off there
00:37:12
Kyle
ah You'll burn through it pretty fucking quick. Yeah. I mean, we still have a bunch of things. Yeah. Yeah. Send it up. It's perfect. Bring it on up.
00:37:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
30,000.
00:37:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
Are you, um, do you have a guy debt, like a guy in the operation dedicated to just making Brian or no? It's just when you have spare time.
00:37:33
Kyle
No, me and Brandon. Yeah. Brandon's my operations manager. So between the both of us, we kind of share the load of it. But there's just somebody needs to be dedicated to it.
00:37:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha.
00:37:45
Kyle
but just, we don't have that staff to do that.
00:37:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:37:48
RICK JAMES
Well, once you get it dialed in, it's pretty much dump and go though, right?
00:37:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha.
00:37:51
Kyle
Yeah, once we, if we ever get the thing figured out, fucking salinity meter is still all screwed up.
00:37:55
RICK JAMES
Stewart.
00:37:56
Kyle
We're having to test it all manually.
00:37:57

RICK JAMES
Quite 30 bucks a ton probably.
00:40:22
The SnowJobs Podcast

Kyle
Oh yeah.

00:41:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:41:38
Kory
We can only buy it by the palette. That stuff is, I don't know if you've ever used that, but it makes their hands all greasy feeling, and it is just nasty.

00:43:34
Kyle
When that radar went down, if we wouldn't have had them fucking view cameras, man, that saved our ass for a little bit.
00:43:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. I was, I wanted to ask you about that. How have they been?
00:43:43
Kyle
The view has been phenomenal.
00:43:45
Kyle
Frost, ah maybe not so much, but.
00:43:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome.
00:43:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
The views have been good though.
00:43:52

Views, of I don't have a single complaint, man. They are kick ass.
00:43:56
The SnowJobs Podcast

one?
00:44:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
- I didn't- I never thought of that.
00:44:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Is that a thing? Has weather radar ever gone down before?
00:44:05
Kyle
I don't know.
00:44:06
RICK JAMES
Oh, yeah.
00:44:06
Kory
I've never going to go down in 25 years of plowing.
00:44:09
Kyle
I didn't even know that was possible.
00:44:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
If this is the newest thing, like, hey guys, ah all the weather guys get on their little group chat like, hey, we fucked this up, kill the radar, kill the radar.
00:44:10
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:44:14
Kyle
Yeah.
00:44:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
what
00:44:17
RICK JAMES
yeah yeah
00:44:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
If that's gonna start happening, if that's gonna start happening on a regular basis then we all need to get the view cameras.
00:44:26
Kyle
yeah Yes.
00:44:26
Kory
Yeah.
00:44:28
Kyle
Yes.
00:44:28
Kory
what
00:44:28
Kory
What's wild is i I didn't realize the radar was down for a while because we we used to, we call it ghost snow, like because we've got lake effect and years pass where you can't see it on the radar.
00:44:33
Kyle
Same.
00:44:39
Kyle
Oh, yeah.
00:44:43
Kyle
And that happens frequently.
00:44:43
Kory
And we're like, we were joking around at the shop, like here's that ghost snow, here's that ghost snow.
00:44:43
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:44:48
Kory
And then like four hours later, it's snow, it's like a white out. We're like, where the fuck is this on the radar?
00:44:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:44:53
Kyle
yeah
00:44:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
We see nothing.
00:44:56
Kory
Yeah.
00:44:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah I'm telling you.
00:44:58
RICK JAMES
It's not a it's not a radar. It's not happening. So you you were you were just you were just sleep deprived But as long as you as long as you brought the plow zone you build for
00:45:00
Kyle
Yeah, all right.
00:45:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
well
00:45:03
Kory
Yeah,
00:45:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah see this is This is not real.
00:45:09
Kory
yeah exactly.
00:45:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
What did they call for? What did the original call for, Corey?
00:45:12
Kory
That what they call for nothing.
00:45:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, what was the original call? Nothing at all?
00:45:17
Kyle
Nothing, nothing.
00:45:18
Kory
Nothing.
00:45:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay, nothing at all. And then you got how many inches out of it?
00:45:23
Kory
Four to six, depending on where.
00:45:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, and that was definitely, that was definitely a phone call.
00:45:27
Kory
I mean, there was there was like thirty there was like a or something percent chance of scattered lake snow showers the one day.
00:45:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
like we
00:45:35
Kory
ah Don't ask me what day, I don't remember. But one of the days there was like 20% chance of snow and it snowed all day, all day long, it never stopped.
00:45:43
Kyle
Never stopped.
00:45:45
Kory
And yeah, we we literally, we we plowed from one to seven in the morning, and then we would restart at 11 in the morning and plow till six at night, and then we'd go home and rest, and another inch and a half or so would fall.
00:46:01
Kory
We'd start plowing at 1 a.m. again, and it kind of just kept going like that for, I don't know how many days, since Sunday or something maybe?
00:46:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
sir Oh shit.
00:46:09
Kyle
Yeah.
00:46:10
Kory
I don't know.

00:51:57
RICK JAMES
That ain't never gonna happen.
00:51:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, you just got to start and started advertising it in the US and Canadian dollars, and then it'll look cheaper.
00:51:59
Kory
a
00:52:03
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:52:03
Kory
Yeah.
00:52:04

00:52:09
Kyle

The SnowJobs Podcast
There you go. I'm always thinking.
00:52:14
RICK JAMES
Just tell Kyle what you want.
00:52:14
Kyle
Good idea.
00:52:15
RICK JAMES
He'll find it for you at Marketplace. He's the Marketplace master.
00:52:17
Kyle

00:52:18
Kory
yeah
00:52:20
RICK JAMES
Shit, you've had a good year.
00:52:20
Kyle
It's only my wife here.
00:52:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, dude, let me ask you a question actually, really quick, we don't, like, a minute.
00:52:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
Why everybody's getting snow? Like, I mean, most places are getting snow across the the U.S. that normally see snow. Why is there so much shit for sale?
00:52:35
RICK JAMES
Except for Dustin.
00:52:38
Kyle
I was wondering the same thing the other day. like I mean, all these fucking pages. There's loaders, there's pushers, there's salt, everything.
00:52:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sidewalk machines, yeah boxes, like, crazy, and and newer stuff too.
00:52:45
Kyle
Yeah.
00:52:46
Kyle
you know Yeah. Yeah.
00:52:47
Kory
I'll tell you what, COVID money, that's why.
00:52:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh yeah, absolutely it dried up.
00:52:53
Kory
Everybody bought more than they needed during COVID and then they got all that shit and then they didn't keep it busy and now they got to get rid of it.
00:52:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:52:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:53:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Hmm.
00:53:02
Kyle
Well, I'm not complaining because we're fucking buying it all up. So keep it going.
00:53:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, it is.
00:53:06
RICK JAMES
Yeah, you are yeah, you are you be Bill Miller shop this fall or spring Yeah, don't tell me about full fuck
00:53:12
Kyle
We need to man, we're full.
00:53:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh my God.
00:53:15
Kyle
Full.
00:53:17
Kory
I got enough shit.
00:53:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
I say the same thing Cory. I am not buying anything.
00:53:22
Kory
The only way I buy shit is if I got more shit to do.
00:53:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
log it
00:53:25
Kory
I don't like replacing stuff. I'm stubborn.
00:53:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:53:29
Kory
You said deaf and I cringe because all my loaders are pre-deaf. I'm like, yeah I got a 924 that's 10 years old and that thing blows black smoke and never stops running.
00:53:34
Kyle
Keep it that way.
00:53:39
Kyle
Keep it that way.
00:53:39
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:53:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's it.
00:53:40
Kyle
It fucking sucks.
00:53:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
I have to keep it.
00:53:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
It does. It does.
00:53:43
Kyle
Everything about it.
00:53:45
Kory
That's why everyone's leasing loaders now though, because they just want to turn and burn on them so they don't have to deal with them.
00:53:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:53:51
Kory
That's like all these good deals I'm buying previously leased units. And it's like, well, I'm just going to inevitably have a lot of issues at some point.
00:53:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
Let me ask you a question. You can delete trucks. Can you delete the loaders too?
00:54:04
Kory
Yeah, you can.
00:54:04
Kyle
We just got a quote to do one of our skid loaders that has fucking deaf issues.
00:54:05
RICK JAMES
Yeah, yep, yep.
00:54:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
Now, let me ask you a question.
00:54:10
Kory
Yeah.
00:54:10
RICK JAMES
look
00:54:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
Even out of warranty, will the manufacturer mechanic work on it if you delete?
00:54:15
RICK JAMES
No, no, no.
00:54:16
Kory
No.
00:54:17
Kyle
They don't fucking work on our shit anyway.
00:54:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:54:18
Kyle
They leave us high in Europe, so.
00:54:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, that's, there you go.
00:54:19
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:54:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's my, that was my point.
00:54:20
RICK JAMES
There's, there's enough mechanics out there. You know, who cares that, that bullet.
00:54:24
Kory
There's a lot of service guys now, like travel, you know, have their own trucks and stuff that will work on.
00:54:28
Kyle
Yeah.
00:54:29
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:54:29
Kory
i would Honestly, that's i will I would call a service truck, like a standalone guy that knows what he's doing before I would take it to the dealer at this point.
00:54:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
Cool.
00:54:30
RICK JAMES
They prefer to work on that.
00:54:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. Well, I mean, fine but finding those guys, like we don't really have those guys around here that,
00:54:39
Kyle
Absolutely.
00:54:40
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:54:44
