Roofers and others in the varying construction trades tend to get a bad wrap for their infamously crude sense of humor that is seen as common in the blue-collar industries that drive growth economies. At Sno Shield however we like to keep it clean but still love a good laugh and appreciate the great benefits [...]
Isn't it funny how once you learn something new or are exposed to something fresh and different, that you start to notice that particular fact or thing or word in places that you never previously considered? Yesterday one of our friends who just recently learned about what we do at Sno Shield, e-mailed us this [...]
Trivial Pursuit--a game that is very much worthy of its name, is a pursuit of seemingly trivial facts and matters that are rarely useful in ever day life. Yet, every now and then you learn something cool enough that it sticks and becomes a useful and valuable morsel of knowledge in the future. Well, at [...]
Here in the rocky mountains we have some of the best snow on earth. Long before the 2002 Winter Olympics at Salt Lake City, skiers and snowboarders were coming from all around the world to enjoy our mountains and our fresh snow. As we were browsing around on youtube this morning to see if we [...]
We love snow because it gives us great business, but you can't beat a bit of warm sunshine to brighten up your day.

Driving to work yesterday reminded us of this amusing (below), but sobering video taken in Bountiful, Utah, about the same time last year; within the space of just [...]
If you woke up in SE Idaho today, the image below probably isn't too dissimilar to what you witnessed as you prepared to go out to work this morning! This image was posted by iJump, Southeast Idaho's Indoor Trampoline Park. Go to their facebook page to comment on the picture, and know that the best [...]
There are few things as "manly" or as testosterone-filled as working in the roofing trade, and certainly fewer satisfying experiences than seeing your constructed roof hold up and perform over the years of weathering nature's storms. Mankind has always sought a "roof over the head" for shelter, privacy, and protection from the elements.Given this precedent [...]
Several years ago in college I was in an international politics class where we were discussing the topic of "soft security" (i.e. not military or economic "hard" security matters); the subset of health security fell under this discussion, and we proceeded to list a range of health issues in the various countries we were assigned [...]
