To all my fellow veteran IBA owners, how much of an increase (percentage) do you typically see in the fall/winter months in comparison to summer? I'm trying to do my projections for the next 12 months and I'm not sure how to tackle this questions since I've only had my Razor running since early spring.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Our slowest months are usually Nov-Dec. Best months are usually Jan-Mar. We are in Southeastern Missouri

If you use average rainfall amounts based on each month that might help, as here it doesnt seem to matter what month it is but if it rains in that month or not! In other words I dont see much seasonal difference, only thing that can swing a month is amount of rain/ sun.

My season (borderline northeast/midwest) is from Thanksgiving to Mother's day. I would estimate that I do 25% to 40% more business in these months depending on weather.

Every region is different. In the south where I am, the winter and late summer are pretty slow. Spring and fall are my better seasons. Especially spring, if it doesn't rain to much. Up north winter can be pretty good whenever the snow melts. Salt helps also.

I've seen fairly decent numbers here in my neck of the woods for it being summer, but I was hoping to get a decent gauge on what kind of increases I might see going from summer into winter...I know there are a ton of variables that play into it, that is what is probably making it difficult for anyone to chime in with any concrete numbers...

Michigan right?
In the northeast, with normal, average if you will, winter weather, you might see Jan-March or April account for 40-50% of your entire year
