Some times you just gotta do what you gotta do, and the crappy weather conditions and whatever mother nature throws at you is at least a change from the monotony of "normalness"........
While I am not in RR'ing I have had plenty of opportunity to be out side working in all forms of weather at all times of the day. While I may not have enjoyed plowing for 36 hour non stop or putting on roof panels in 5 degree ( -40 with wind chill) weather at the time I was doing it. It has provided me with a great sense of accomplishment and plenty of stories that I am not sure a 9-5 desk job ever could have.
