Love the videos man keep them coming I'll stick with plowing the interstate though LoL

[@SnowMenShow]

Thanks. Happy Plowing.

[@akidwaimd]

I really find RadarScope app for the iPhone really nice. Has current NWS radar info - less than 2-3 minutes old. Like this video.

[@FishFind3000]

Asif Kidwai I got it about 2 months ago and it’s information is invaluable. I can’t kick myself enough for not getting it sooner.

[@ThePlowGuys]

Hey Ryan how you doing buddy. Great video. I myself keep it simple. When it snows I plow. When it is clear I drink. Easy peezy. I was thinking of getting some commercial accounts but here they just DON"T pay. Not worth the hassle to have a truck visit a lot every two hours during an event to keep it clean. I am really considering selling my truck and getting a tractor. So much better. Look forward to the next season Ryan. say hi to everyone there. all the best -John

[@SnowMenShow]

Hey John, down here commercial work pays better than residential. I actually prefer commercial work over residential even on the invoicing side of things because they usually pay promptly.

[@ThePlowGuys]

I get that. Here the liability insurance is super high. Customers want you there as soon as a snowflake hits the ground. They want seasonal contract. They want salt included in price. They want, they want, they want. All for the low price of 1700$ a season. LMAO I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole, but some one is and thats why the pricing here is so backwards. Residential is what pays. With a tractor and rear mounted forward facing blower I can clean 5 driveways to my one driveway done with the truck. Put a plow on that tractor and it becomes a monster. A pick up can't compete with a tractor for work like there is here. Stay warm and dry buddy. -John

[@bryantc2899]

I wish they would have kept pykl3 radar. That was my favorite. I remember still have Gibson ridge for my laptop, thats what everyone used back in the day.

[@panosn1340]

Thanks man from Greece

[@jackwilson5002]

Great Video!

[@user-mu5nh8fi6y]

How do you get internet in your plow trucks?

[@SnowMenShow]

USB Internet stick from Sprint.

[@user-mu5nh8fi6y]

Thanks guys. Great videos.

[@marlineharrold1937]

Thank you for sharing.

[@ryanrobison9546]

I recant my earlier message. WSV3's LiveScan technology has a very good refresh rate of only a little less than 2.5 minutes! I am currently working w/Paul to do a comparison between KFOR and WSV3 and the NWS for the deadly 2013 Moore, OK tornado.

[@FishFind3000]

Ryan Robison yea you cant really get much faster then 2.5 min for refresh unless you do sails.

[@aidanc9612]

will you do a season 2 in 2017?

[@SnowMenShow]

Season 2 was filmed in 2014. We are filming season 5 right now in 2017. I am very busy running my business so I do not have a lot of time to edit and upload KZbin videos. This is why we are still only in season 1 right now which was filmed in 2013. I do not know exact timing of when season 2 will be out. I still have a lot of good footage from season 1 to edit.

[@aidanc9612]

Thanks for the quick and helpful response!

[@ryanrobison9546]

From the videos I have seen, it uses TV stations radar, not radar from the NWS. Don't get me wrong, the program has potential and I have been in contact with Paul. So I think he does welcome input from users.

[@FishFind3000]

Grlevelx is good software too.

[@starcrossedbat]

i get my weather info from Tom Skilling 😋😘 Helpful video though! 👍

[@JAYTHEMPGCHARACTER]

Snow Men i use Raderscope And Raderomega i have Some model ones like Cod and i have a other model one but i don’t know what’s it called 🤦‍♂️

[@easscenarios8189]

WSV3 is pretty good.

[@dgNoah]

It has an annoying subscription based payment instead of a one time purchase. :( (I know it used to be one time purchase)

[@jamielilja9601]

Have you ever tried radarscope and if so did you like it

[@bryantc2899]

Yes it's good

[@fjdndjsnxb8488]

are you in a van?

[@aaronalto3034]

Intellicast had an interactive future radar loop that ran present to 24 hrs out. That is now history since WU took Intellicast down. Anyone have a site/ map they could recommend that's similar? Thanks.

[@SnowMenShow]

Try this one. wgntv.com/weather/maps-and-radar/interactive-radar/

[@aaronalto3034]

@@SnowMenShow Thanks. I found this one in the mean time. They don't seem to discern snow/ rain as far as image colorations. Wish they did being in N MN. Decent features and control options for goof like me.. www.iweathernet.com/interactive-radar

Do you guys ever get tired of talking about snow , have you plowed any snow this season I mean this in a good way but I know you would like to be plowing snow . Hope you get some soon . We have plowed 19 times sense Nov 21st , some are contract seasonal and rest by the plow . We have a lot of accounts that require plowing every 2 inches so we start plowing when it starts snowing and we stop when it stops not much time to watch weather channels . Think Snow .

[@SnowMenShow]

We have been out 8 times this season on the commercial accounts. We are plowing constantly through storms as well. Weather tracking is very important in our business so we know what resources to have ready and how much man power we will need. Many of the larger companies in the Chiagoland area actually have a whole weather office with a team of people monitoring conditions at various locations. We are not that large so I just do it from the truck. It's called multitasking most small business owners are used to this and will know what I am talking about. And no I never get tired of talking about snow. I love the snow business, it's not just a job for me. Happy plowing. -Ryan

[@tuckertroy65]

i have gr earth

[@SnowMenShow]

Yeah, that's a good program too. I did not talk about that one because I do not use it. I don't ever need to know weather info outside the USA.

[@ericdraven2219]

they are stopping support for pykl3 that sucks cause it was awesome .... any other ones that are cheap like it any one can think of... radar scope has these subscriptions that add up quik $$$

[@bryantc2899]

I know it sucks. It was my favorite!

[@ryanrobison9546]

In addition to Mike Gibson's programs, you might want to check out wsv3 available at wsv3.com You only pay a one time fee and you get it for a lifetime. Cheers, Ryan

[@SnowMenShow]

I'm familiar with Weather Studio. Was never that impressed with it but the last time I used it was a few years back. -Ryan O

[@ScoutSniper1990]

Weather Studio is a great program for Broadcasting weather. It has all the pretty features like custom 3d texts and alpha settings. Along with the NexGen Blue Marble display. It's great for displaying weather. But for real-time weather analyzing. The best of the best is SimuAwips. And Gr2Analyst.

[@lesliem.dowden2092]

Well aint you sweet...
