No snow good for city budget

PHOTO SHOWCASE: Our snowiest photos, and what you're not missing!

If there's one lesson to learn about being a snowplow contractor in Omaha, listen to Mick Goslin.

"You can't look at snow removal as a one-year operation," said Goslin of Goslin Contracting, a 23-year-old firm based in the Benson area.

"You'll have one good year, but then you might have three or four where the return of money just might not be there."

This winter is tough proof of Goslin's words. A lack of snow is bruising news for the 18 private snow removal contractors on the City of Omaha's list this year.

But if current conditions persist, the mild winter could save a healthy chunk of tax dollars that could be spent on street maintenance.

Still, officials say the anticipated reduction in wheel tax revenue next year could prompt the city to set aside any savings this year to make up for the hit.

The city budgeted roughly $6.7 million for snow removal this year, and officials say an accounting of how much will be spent is likely to come sometime after the end of the first quarter.

I want to get a snow plow for my CJ - JeepForum.com

by penjrav8r

I have a 200 yard long gravel driveway and I would like to get a plow for my CJ7 for the winter. I do not have a winch, but I have long been wanting to get one. Obviously I can't do both unless I have a winch-driven plow, or else switch equipment every season. Any recommendations on brand of winch and plow? I don't want to spend TOO much money, but I realize a good winch will cost me.
