You dont have to tell me. I paid a plowman for a full season. $200 and he plowed me once!!! I have his contract here and am mulling over it. Do I pony up the money? I mean, if it does not snow here for another winter, all hell has broke loose. Buffalo and Rochester get pounded as much as any cities in the US. I hope we avoid it for driving purposes but I think its highly unlikely it can happen again.
