well its Oct 9 and we just got two inches of snow. We had a really wet cool summer and as a result the leaves are still green and on the trees. Going to be interresting figuring out how to get the leaves off to do fall cleanups.maybe some huge vacuum on an ariel bucket truck. lol

Yeah it's a weird year. Grass never went dormant, leaves still green and this is north of north Dakota. And I just saw a pic of Washington DC and all their leaves are orange and yellow.

Then we get 10 cm of snow... So I'm driving to the beer vender and it's white out. I go to turn on my 4x4 because it's so slippery and all I hear is grinding and crunching pfft. Go to Canadian Tire, HUGE line up because everyone wants to change their tires. Find out it's my front bearings and U-joint.. plus I need a performance check cause my engine light was on. Need new wires and spark plug... that will be $1080 sir...:mad:

But my snow clients are phoning to make sure they are on my list for november.

With my luck all the leaves will fall when there is a foot of snow on the ground and I will get the pleasure of cleaning them up for free during spring clean up. I'm thinking of altering my price structure for power raking season, I'm tired of explaining that if you didn't have a fall clean up then I'm doing fall and spring clean up... had some bad experiences this spring.

If that happens I charge for both the cleanups plus 20%. That many leaves in the spring are bound to be really wet and diffucult to take care of. Two times the work costs 2 times the price + . Maybe just maybe we will get these damn leaves on the ground.
