This really has been a crazy winter in terms of the amount of snow we have gotten. I can imagine how hard this season must have been for companies that rely on winter. If I were a company, like the hardware store owner, I feel like I would have to stock up before or else you could run out stock and possibly lose customers. It would be more afraid of losing my steady customers than losing money for being over prepared. Also I can’t imagine how much money the ski resorts lost this year with there not being much snow. I know they must have huge overhead cost that they usually make back but I'm not sure about this year. There were only a few weeks that had good conditions this year. Also a company I intern for paid for snow removal up front to get a better deal but it turns out that they are getting a much worse deal because they have only needed snow removal twice all year. Environmental conditions will always be factor when planning ahead you just have to hope for the best and plan for the worst. Does anyone know how bad the ski resorts were hurt this year? Does anyone else have similar stories about over preparing?
