As much of Utah copes with one of the mildest and snow-free winters in recent memory, some people who make their living shoveling the "greatest snow on earth" are having a tough time. Russ Kimball, owner of Draper-based Kimball Property Management — the state's largest snow removal contractor says, "We're down at least 80 percent." Kimball said snow removal accounts for about 40 percent of their overall business, and this dramatically "down year" will cost his company millions. While the larger firms are hit harder by the dry winter, smaller operations may have an easier go of it. Deseret News
