For snow plow & ice management contractors · 2026–27 pre-season
Enter the property's ZIP, your trigger depth and your cost per push. You'll see how many pushes each winter since 1996-97 would have taken, a seasonal price that covers a bad winter, and how many winters that price would have lost money.

A flat seasonal price built on a "normal" winter loses money in the heavy ones. Contractors on the forums price seasonal work on rules of thumb like "12 plows and 30 salts" because pulling event counts out of raw weather data takes hours. This tool does it in seconds for your trigger depth and your costs.
Change the trigger, cost per push and risk level. Watch the price and the loss count move.
Storms and pushes per winter at 1", 2", 3", 4" or 6" triggers, plus re-pushes for long storms and snow days for salting. 1,445 NOAA stations; enter a ZIP to find the 5 nearest.
Choose the winter to plan for (median, 70th, 80th, 90th percentile) and your margin. Get a seasonal and monthly price, the number of winters it would have lost money, and your worst-winter result.
A lower seasonal fee that covers the median winter, plus per-push overage. It shows how often past winters would have gone over the cap.
Print a one-page snow-history summary to attach to your proposal, so the property manager can see why the number is what it is.

Yes, and this tool is built on it. What you're paying for is the processing: 30 winters of daily records turned into storm and push counts at your trigger for 1,445 stations, the percentile pricing, the loss backtest and a client-ready report, in seconds instead of hours in a spreadsheet.
Use it as the local baseline. The ZIP search shows the 5 nearest stations with distance and elevation, so you can pick the one with similar terrain and lake exposure. Snowfall varies locally, especially in lake-effect and mountain areas, so adjust with your own experience.
A storm is a run of consecutive days with at least 0.1" of new snow, summed. It counts if the total reaches your trigger. Pushes = 1 per qualifying storm, plus 1 for each "extra push" increment you set (for example, every 6" beyond the trigger). Stations measure snowfall once a day, so storm timing can split or merge events.
No. Snowfall records don't capture ice storms, freezing rain or refreeze. Salting counts use snow days (≥0.1") as a proxy. Add ice events from your own experience.
No. It shows how a price would have performed in past winters. Future winters can be lighter or heavier than anything on record. It's a planning input, not a forecast or financial advice.
