TOLEDO, Ohio -

After last year's mild winter, local businesses are cashing in on snow removal.

The snow fall is translating into big bucks for some. With dozens of commercial lots on the client list, plow businesses want the white stuff to keep falling!

"I've been very happy. It's a lot better than last year. It really is great for business. I know a lot of guys got put under last year because there wasn't a lot of snow. This year it's a whole different story", says Jake Moritz, local plow driver

Commercial lots take priority in most cases. Most businesses salt lots in the morning, then plow once the snow completely stops.
