There are blessings and curses that come with working outdoors. When the weather is that beautiful sunny, not too warm or cold kind of temperature, I lose count of how many people tell me that they are envious of my job. Being outside when the weather is like that, is really a wonderful thing. When the weather is winter storm misery then nobody is envious of me at all. I get asked quite often if I have to work in stormy weather or the torrential rain. If its patchy drizzle or very light, patchy showers then yes, I do have to work in it. We are provided with wet weather gear and at the end of the day, the job has to get done. When the weather was like it was on Tuesaday then I am told to get out of it. Storms are dangerous to work in. Strong winds, lightning, hail, etc. All of these make for an unsafe working environment. The last thing that work wants is a workers compensation case, so when the storms show up we just retreat to the bunker and watch the storm pass with a cuppa to warm our frozen fingers.
