Impressive snow data

Reliable_snowflake

Each Monday morning we have a meeting with our sales team to report on what is happening, where we are with billing and other fun things.
A great asset at Reliable is the phenomenal amount of hard data we have kept for years on how much time is spent on sites. We compare similar snow events from recent history and that uncovered a stat I thought was very interesting.
We noticed an uptick during the last large snowfall on the time spent on some properties compared to other large snow events. A little digging and our sensational operations team uncovered that the largest increases were where no snow has been hauled or stacked up (snow piles pushed higher with a skid or end loader). This means that with record snowfalls, quite a few of our properties are filling up with snow and we are running out of places to put it. I was more than a little excited that we were able to figure out that kind of information with our systems and processes.
Calling for another couple of inches of snow Thursday and again over the weekend. Enjoy the sunshine while you can!
