Great post! Thanks! How about this as a (totally) off-beat supplement to your snow-shoveling business: What does everyone (illogically) stock-up on the night before a snow-storm is predicted? Bread, milk and toilet paper! (At least they do here south of the great white north border - perhaps Canadians are more sensible.)

Anyway, what about going out the night before a storm and buying bunches of the foregoing and then offering to sell these valuable commodities door-to-door and to your snow customers? (At a moderate profit of course!)

I'm laughing myself - but I wonder what would happen?
