I generally used to figure on shutting down my outside construction jobs by January 1st. because the working conditions were so adverse. The coldest day we had this past winter was 35 deg. below zero with the wind chill. The snow is even worse though. It's nearly impossible to get anything done when everything is buried in two feet of snow. You spend four hours shoveling just to do an hour's worth of work.

About the only good thing is that the winters here are a lot milder than they were back in my grandfather's day.

I think you guys get the heat though ... don't you ?



Being a cold weather dog ... i start to lose interest in work when the thermometer hits 80 deg. I get heat beat & irritable. Sunny and in the 50's is about ideal working conditions in this neck of the woods.
