If that happened, he'd be able to put lot more money in the bank.

During Christmas week, Knight, of DMK Tractor Services in Bremerton, barely had a chance to let his Kubota tractor cool off, The Kitsap Sun reported.

On Monday, he began plowing snow off driveways and parking lots for local businesses.

"They'd just see me out there plowing and flag me down, and off to the next place I'd go," he told the Kitsap Sun.

Knight spent Friday digging out car dealerships on Auto Center Way.

He figures he netted $1,000 a day. "I'm hoping for more snow, absolutely," he said.

The snow may have been a bane for some, but it was a boon for boon for some small and mid-sized construction and landscape contractors with heavy equipment. They became real entrepreneurs.

Shane Mabry said he spent the day after Christmas on an excavator clearing slush from apartment complex parking lots. His Port Orchard-based manufactured home business has been hurting because of the slow economy, but the snow presented an opportunity to some work.

"This has been a life-saver for us. We went from really slow to really fast," Mabry said.

Mabry's ad on Craigslist was among 13 under the heading of snow removal in Kitsap County.
