Flurry Of Business

The offices here at the PhoneSmart call center are buzzing. The weather forecast is calling for 6 to 12 inches of snow to start falling tonight. The temperature yesterday fell from 59 to 44 in a couple of hours. Granted we don’t have anything to complain about as far as the weather goes. I attended the University of Missouri’s last football game on Saturday and some people had shorts on. (It wasn’t those crazy people who refuse to wear long pants, it was really that warm)

When the weather changes people scurry about to get things done before they get caught in the weather. From warm to cold or vice versa, people get going when the weather gets going. The grocery stores fill up with people trying to stock their pantries. Gas stations are busier so people can fill up their tanks. Self storage properties get busy also. People all of sudden decide that they need to store that classic car or patio furniture or maybe extra Christmas presents. Even though the winter season is not considered the busy season for self storage, we definitely see our fair share of folks wanting to store.
