I actually loved those days, all by my lonesome in the snow. It was fun and payed fairly well. Just don't let them put you in a skid-steer for 20 some odd hours, It'll take you days to get your legs unbent.
I ran one at a turkey processing plant for a few days. That is until I spilled a giant vat of turkey slurry all over the plant floor. But that is a story for another time. :D I kinda hate the smell of propane tho, so I won't be hunting for that work anytime soon.
Thanks for the chuckle and good luck on getting out from behind that plow before the Spring thaw. Thanks also for reminding me why I got my sorry ass out of the snowy north 43 years ago. Regrettably though jobs-between-jobs here in Florida aren’t as enjoyable as pushing snow and are more like, "Good afternoon ma’am … enjoy shopping with us at Walmart today".
I don't blame folks for heading for the warmer climates. I would be a terrible greeter as the last thing people want to see coming into a store is Sam the Eagle made flesh. Plowing and salting has been fun, if there was a bit more money and a bit more consistency I would be happy to do it all the time. Like playing with Tonka trucks, I even make the motor noises sometimes all alone out there in the dark. :D
