Default Rare snow day @ DRM

DRM is experiencing a very rare snow day. We woke up to almost a foot of snow cone like snow. Plowing efforts have been slowed down from the weight of the snow. The snow cone just keeps falling from the sky We are deeply sorry for the delays in shipping and not being able to take phone calls at the shop.

We will be answering email in between cleaning up!
Thanks
Randy

PS if you are in the mess, take care of those backs!

Default Snow Day

In Ironwood, Michigan the UPS trucks did not leave the barn today.

Typical UP weather, six months of winter and then six months of tough sledding.

Cleaned up and ready, open for business!!! This was a weird snow fall, which kept the plow guys going none stop.

8pm last night when I left the shop it was down pour
10pm let the dog outside and it was light snow
Midnight, went to the wood pile 1 inch on the ground
7am big piles of snow
1pm they came by the house with the township plow
1:30 fire up plow truck at the shop
5:30 done plowing out the shop

Wet, nasty, and heavy
