March came in like a lion over the weekend, leaving roads slushy and snow-covered Monday morning.
As many students in Berks County got a two-hour delay to kick off the week, snow crews and residents were busy cleaning up roads, sidewalks and driveways.
Brian Bauman, of Mike's Lawn Care, spoke with 69 News while clearing sidewalks in Fleetwood.
"It's more wear and tear on the snow blowers," he said, referring to icy walkways.
But Bauman isn't complaining about the boost in business.
"We're busy. It's fun," he said. "Yes, profitable."
Business also remains strong for hardware stores, where customers are still frequently coming in to buy salt and other winter supplies.
"We're ready and we've got shovels. We've got ice scrapers. We've got salt. We've got all the supplies that everyone's gonna need," said Thomas Rose, general manager, Weaver's Hardware.
Still, Rose is ready for warmer weather.
"We thought March 1 would be the end of it, but apparently not," he said. "We're looking forward to spring and selling our spring items. Let people get into their gardens and into their yards!"
