Who Has To Work Outside In This Weather ?

[Eddyk]

I used to repair broken water mains for about 30 years and regardless of the weather we had to be out there. The phone would go off and you would get up in the middle of the night and never give it a second thought no matter what the weather was like outside. Who else ?

I do usually work outside all winter, but not when its like this! Handling glass gets abit dicey when its wet!

[Whopper]

I did for over twenty years, now I sit at a desk

Paul will be out in this this afternoon. They work outside all year long no matter what the weather. Gotta keep those containers moving He's on the afternoon shift, but I hear it's not going to get any better by then

I used to when I worked at Toronto hydro, but usually it had to be an emergency for us to go out in this. Now I just drive in this mess, not as bad as being outside somedays, but then, I do have to go outside to get the customer...so I guess I kinda still work outside...

Monday is my volunteer day at the camp. We were going to cut more ( tree ) tops today but we all decided inside at our house was better.

I guess I should get out there and at least shovel the path from the back door to the workshop.....to make it look like I did something out there today! LOL

 

Guess I may need to plow the laneway as well...dang...

 

No Eddy...never worked outside during the winter...unless I wanted to...

We bring the outside stuff indoors(cars & trucks). The problem is though it starts to melt and we have a salt shower when we work. yukkkk

I started working on the truck docks in 73, a roof but no heat, kind of like a wind tunnel, whatever it was doing outside you got a piece of. 20 below? ya on the dock too! Driving a tractor trailer and trying to keep some kind of schedule was interesting too. Still better than being stuck inside behind a machine or desk not knowing what`s happening outside.

I clean windows for a living.It's not nearly as cold as it used to be.Why I remember when and the snow !!

And I'm still chompin' to get out there for some ice fishin' and snowmobilin'.

Come on winter,get it in gear!

P.S. I just checked the weather for tomorrow,it says -19 for the morning...I think I'll get up late.
