If you live in Solon or Twinsburg, Ohio (or the surrounding areas of Aurora, Glenwillow, Bedford, Hudson, etc.) you may very well have run across a scam. There is a company that is currently calling itself Empire Snow Removal. They offer snow removal services for residential addresses for a very reasonable price. Unfortunately this is a COMPLETE SCAM.
This “company” has been running this scam for several years under at least 2 company names. Back in 2008, I fell for this scam when they were going under the name of The Snowplow Guys. You can read the entire… Continue reading
So last week we got about 30 inches of snow in a two day period. This of course means snowblowing… and lots of it. I’m a tad bit anal when it comes to keeping my driveway clean so I’m the neighbor that’s out there multiple times per day keeping it clear.
I make sure that I’ve got the entire driveway nice and clean so when it’s time for me to venture out I can do it. The city then comes by with their huge snowplows and plows the street in front of my house. Invariably they create a HUGE ice/snow… Continue reading
The first snow of the year is a magical thing isn’t it? Winter has finally come and everyone is happy to have it. There’s nothing better than a white Christmas to put everyone in a great mood.

- Get ready for work
- Talk to the G-man
- Get milk for the boys
- Take dog out
- Kiss G & Mom goodbye
- Head out
For some reason, my commute time in the last couple of weeks has gone up by about 10 or 15 minutes. The obvious culprit is that school is back in session now. But here’s my question… where the hell does everyone go in the summer? I mean sure I know that kids aren’t… Continue reading
I Hate People
OK… so the title of this post isn’t quite true. A more accurate title would be “I Hate People Who Can’t Or Won’t Drive The Correct Way When It Snows” but that seemed a bit on the longish side.
I live in northeast Ohio. I also happen to live in a particular spot of northeast Ohio called the “snow belt”. If you’re not familiar with the term please allow me to explain. Based on our close proximity to Lake Erie our climate is a bit more humid that most. So, before the lake has frozen for the year, there is… Continue reading →
