That would be a very smart cupcake. Hitting 15 below here Monday and Tuesday night plus 6-12 inches of snow. I cant get to SFS in St. Pete fast enough.

I went out this morning in 12 deg F., two jobs, got my fill of winter work.

Will likely postpone next 4 days as it's certain to be worse here.

It's smart to know your limits and the limits of physics.

Don't feel bad Larry. 9am job for Monday was smart enough to call and reschedule.

I called the 12 appmnt and they said oh just come on we don't mind the door open.

It will be are coolest day in a long time.

Zero jobs for me today too. Luckily it worked out that I have 6 jobs for the first part of this week. Whole empty houses where they hid keys , gave me garage codes etc... and they are paying by credit card over the phone when I get there. Makes it easy to shuffle time around for this extra cold crap.

Larry and all, TM's can be used in 30 below weather but it takes a lot of preparation.
Our trucks all had fresh water tanks which we'd fill with as much hot water as we could before heading out.
Also we'd run our water lines inside the vac lines etc.
But if there is a lot of wind or you have a long hose run then just forget it.
