This one is my new favorite...but that's just my opinion.
My kids just made up a flier for a shoveling business for my neighborhood.
A few years ago when Seattle had a crippling snowstorm, a kid from Idaho brought his truck and snowplow blade and made something like $40K in a week by working 18-hour days. To be fair, we don't get that kind of snow very often, so we don't have nearly the economy already set up for plowing parking lots. Mostly the snow melts out in a day or two so most businesses don't bother plowing.My kids just made up a flier for a shoveling business for my neighborhood.
When I was in Vancouver BC, I ended up walking to work via the bus route. (and passed a few of the busses on the route I would have been on).. It was '97 or '98, and we got a dumping: like 4"-6". but that's enough to cripple the city.A few years ago when Seattle had a crippling snowstorm, a kid from Idaho brought his truck and snowplow blade and made something like $40K in a week by working 18-hour days.

Idaho National Guard Uses the left Runway at Boise. The airport used to be a fair distance from the city proper.
It's similar out here in the boonies where people buy a house next to a farm and then complain about the smell.
If they were 20 ft high they’d be rightish. Not that height.
One semester in college I set up my classes to fall on MWF which allowed me to pick up lunch shifts at work. I woke up one morning in the middle of a fairly big surprise snowstorm that wasn't supposed to stop until late in the day. My car wouldn't start, so I called work and let them know I was walking in and would be a little late, then hit the road. We lived just off of the main road, so I was on US 27 within minutes. As I was walking up to the stoplight at Highland Avenue, a beer truck pulled up next to me and stopped. Visibility was almost nil, so it took me about two seconds to decide to hitch a ride on the back bumper of the beer truck. Only a few people even noticed me back there. They beeped and waved. We made the trip at about 10 mph, but I was to work within five minutes. Once we were near our parking lot, I just stepped off and walked the rest of the way to work. My boss was surprised when I walked in early after calling and telling him to expect me late, and he loved the hitchhiking story.A few years ago when Seattle had a crippling snowstorm, a kid from Idaho brought his truck and snowplow blade and made something like $40K in a week by working 18-hour days.
