Running a small business through a Nebraska winter
Snow, cold and spring storms — habits that help local businesses and the people they serve.
Post weather closings fast
When snow or ice changes your hours, update them everywhere customers look — your website, your listings, your social pages and your phone message — before people set out.
Protect the people and the gear
Warm breaks for crews, block heaters and winter kits in vehicles, and a plan for pipes, livestock water and inventory that cold can damage.
Plan for spring storm season
Hail, high wind and severe storms follow the snow. Know how you'll reschedule work and let customers know quickly.
Tell customers what to expect
A short note on your site or listing about winter scheduling saves a lot of phone calls.
