Snow days feel harmless until you’re the one running payroll.
In this episode of Between 2 Bridges, amidst a historic winter storm, we’re measuring how much snow really costs small businesses. Lost revenue. Employees clocked in with no customers. Rising utility bills. And no clear path to relief.
We talk about how prolonged snow and subzero temperatures ripple through restaurants, retail, service businesses, and startups. Why being open can actually be worse than being closed. How disaster relief programs exist but rarely reach businesses in time. And what happens when city infrastructure, budgeting decisions, and weather collide.
This isn’t complaining about the cold. It’s an honest conversation about survival, risk, and the reality small business owners face when everything stops but the bills don’t.
If you’ve ever owned a business, supported one, or wondered why snow days hit harder than people think, this episode doesn’t leave you out in the cold.
