When it snowed in Seattle last year, an Idaho teenager drove his white Dodge Ram truck to the city.

The teen, David Holston of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, bet that Seattleites wouldn’t be prepared. He bet right.

Holston loaded up his snow plow machinery and placed an ad on Craigslist, charging up to $750 an hour. By the time the snow – and the money – dried up, he told other media outlets he had earned $35,000 in four days. Most of that was made shoveling snow and slush from business parking lots.

We texted with Holston on Tuesday to see if he’d return to Seattle given the forecast. We also wanted to know what he’d done with all that money.

Holston said he bought a second truck and plow, and that he now employs someone to drive the new vehicle, a 1997 Chevy 2500.
