I can see how that’s a problem. We can have a cold and snowy winter here, or not. This year it has been mild. One weekend some years ago I took a drive up to Wisconsin in January. There hadn’t been a flake of snow and I felt sorry for the snowmobile rental places and cross-country skiing shops.
Two essentially snowless winters in succession in south central Pennsylvania.
The lawn mowing contractors mostly switch to snow removal contracting during the winter.
Imagine two winters of zero or negligible income.
