Here in eastern Kansas we had 12-18 inches of snow and winds gusting up to 45 mph. Then the next night temps dropped to ten below. Everything is shut down. Churches, schools, banks.
I just got a call from a lumber yard customer of mine in Rochester, NY.
He wanted a truckload of rock salt(941 50 pound bags).
I could have sold it to him yesterday morning. I can not today. New York state government declared an emergency.
They met with our main supplier yesterday(American Rock Salt) and ordered them to supply the state of NY with all the salt they could dig out of their mine until further notice.
