Winter economics for 2012
This unusual early winter, largely without snow and, at least until recently, with record breaking warm temperatures, is creating its own ripple effect.
A year ago, it was a different story.
The winter of 2011 brought plenty of snow and cold. A New Year’s Eve ice storm, followed by continuous cold, left area roads ice covered and treacherous. Battling that ice storm was an ongoing effort throughout the winter. Crow Wing County and area cities depleted stores and then wiped out reserves of salt and sand. The region was so hard hit, Baxter reported the city couldn’t even fill orders to replace its supply.
That isn’t the case for the winter of 2012.
“This is probably the most mild winter I have seen in 25 years,” said Jeff Hulsether, Brainerd city engineer. “I do not remember a year where we have not plowed at all this late in the season.”
What little snow has fallen hasn’t amounted to much. Brainerd, Baxter and Crow Wing County reported the slow start to this winter has allowed them to replenish sand/salt reserves. Brainerd spends $20,000 on salt and sand and is saving on purchases of cutting blades for the snowplows, which can cost $5,000 to $10,000 each year. And there is saving on city budgets in regard to overtime as crews work first to plow and then remove snow after a typical winter storm. For an 8-10 inch snowstorm, Hulsether said the city may burn 700-800 gallons of diesel fuel to plow and remove the snow. Heavier snow means using more fuel. At $4 a gallon that adds up to $3,000 cost for a single snow event.
Arctic Snow & Ice Control Products Offers Sectional Sno-Plow for ...
BRADLEY, Ill â Sectional Sno-Plow ä , a product division of Arctic Snow and Ice Control Products, offers its line of HD Plows . Created by an experienced snow and ice management contractor, the snow pushers include a host of innovate features designed for maximum productivity, and are compatible with a variety of large pieces of equipment including wheel loaders, backhoes, skid-steers, tractors and telehandlers. Sectional Sno-Plowâs HD line is ideal for established snow and ice management professionals, as well as fleet owners looking for a productive solution for idle equipment during the winter months, including facility managers, and construction and landscape contractors.
The HD plows include several unique, patented features designed to increase pushing efficiency, increase fuel savings, greatly reduce salt usage and eliminate follow-up plowing. Constructed of durable steel, the patented moldboard design features individual 32-inch-wide sections, equipped with independent, spring-loaded trip edges. Each section of moldboard responds to changes in the pavement and moves up and down on its own, allowing the plow to contour to uneven surfaces and reduce the amount of snow left behind to re-plow.
Every individual moldboard section features an AR-400 hardened-steel trip cutting edge. Unlike competitorâs plows that offer rubber or polyurethane cutting edges, the steel edge is designed to scrape snow and ice down to the pavement and offer cleaner removal with a single pass. If a cutting edge is damaged, just that section needs to be replaced, resulting in significant cost savings. With typical one-piece moldboard plows, several feet of expensive cutting edge, often equal to the entire length of the plow, must be replaced upon damage.
Designed for faster, easier and more efficient operation, Sectional Sno-Plowâs patented Slip-Hitchä system is included on every HD plow. The system automatically and continuously adjusts the plow to the pavement grade, resulting in fewer missed areas and less follow-up plowing. And because it adjusts to the pavement mechanically, less operator time and effort is required to position the plow, making it ideal for inexperienced operators. It also allows the plow to operate independently of the equipment, ensuring full traction and eliminating drag, as well as loss of horsepower.
