    I despise winter, especially after the one we had here this past year. Prices on the materials I generally deal in were fairly stable, but.... Business was way down compared to the milder months. Some of my yard guys that I serve had vehicles literally embedded in ice, not even the fork loader could break some of them loose. Plus, you can't blame anyone for not wanting to dismantle vehicles outside in sub-zero cold and two feet of snow. I wouldn't want to! Dismantling was pretty much limited to what they could get inside their buildings to work on, mostly late-model vehicles with a good amount of salable parts. The "clunkers" that never make it inside (ones where you basically get the wheels/cats/battery and crush it) were mostly put on the back burner until the weather broke.

    The only nice thing was, when spring FINALLY arrived, I got a nice burst of goodies from the backlog of junkers that had accumulated over the winter. I hope this winter isn't as nasty as the last. It would be nice if the metals markets picked up, as well. The past month has NOT been kind to us
