Municipal managers go nuts trying to predict snow costs. I guess you could say it comes with years of practice. You just get a feel for what happens, and budget based on past years.

We're looking to set up a meeting with the property owners and see what we come up with.

If it snows 2 inches on a weekend, it might cost as much to clear as it would if we get 5 inches on a Wednesday.

Everybody in the locker room, the coaches, players and managers, and everybody in the gym when we practice - that's the only people that believed in us. We just pretty much stick with what we got.

We are not after customers. We are after the managers of large credit unions that are trying to have it both ways -- act like a bank but at the same time continue to use the credit union tax subsidy.

We have some deep areas that we're trying to clear a path, but the snow is really hard and tough to move. We're hoping for some warm weather before then. I don't think home field advantage will make much of a difference; conditions will make the biggest difference.
