Making The Most Of Your Winter

The winter months in Minnesota have proven to be unpredictable. There are years where we are ‘Dreaming of a White Halloween?and also years that we have the luxury of enjoying a brown (and slushy) Christmas. The sunlight fades earlier day after day, only leaving a small window of time to enjoy the beauty that surfaces after the snow falls.

The first snowfall each year brings excitement, holiday anticipation, and of course, the feeling of horror when you realize you have no idea where your shovel is, and you are already five minutes late to work.

That is where we come in.

According to St. Cloud State University Weather, the 2013-2014 winter season had 54.3 inches of snow. That number falls into the 3rd highest snowfall on record for St. Cloud, falling behind the 1968-1969 season with 60.8 inches, and the 1936-1937 season with 73.0 inches.

At Ehlinger, we automatically clear your driveway after any 1” or greater snowfall- no call needed. We charge a flat rate every season, no matter how many times it snows.

Can you imagine the possibilities?

Here are three things that you can do with the extra time you will have if you do not have to shovel this winter.

1. Make a Snow Angel… (or teach your kids how to create the perfect imprint.)

There is something about lying in the snow and waving your arms and legs that creates pure happiness.




2. Hit the Snooze Button

Give yourself that extra five minutes of rest. You deserve it!



3. Bake your Favorite Holiday Treat

Try one our favorites!

Candy Cane Popcorn



Chocolate and Peanut Butter Crackers
