Do you climb in the rain?

[s o c]

today was our 1st day without rain in 3weeks. would be out of business if we had to wait for dry weather over here.

yes, but it does bother me when it,s every day.

funny thing is, after 2 fine days we forget all the crap weather and where our rain gear is left.

If it rains, we get wet. Exactly what I tell customers! Doesn't change. Work has to be done at some point, may aswell just get done and get home!

When I was working for private firms, it seemed to be work in all weathers as couldn't afford days off. When working for the local authority, it seemed that the manager scheduled work around the weather. Hot summer days would be easy, light pruning jobs then chainsaw trousers could be avoided. Snowy days would again be small, ground based work.

 

Sadly in both sectors, light rain was par for the course. Heavy rain or storms - work if possible, if not sit in the van with the heater on.

 

I have climbed in every weather and done emergency call out work in all weather. Now I'm older and wiser(??), I probably wouldn't climb in the snow or rain again due to my views on safety.

 

Best make sure I've got a fully working heater before anything else in you're new truck lol

I never climb in the rain- too horrible.

 

If rain is forecast and the jobs booked in- subbie climbs. Simple!

Dont like it generally but needs must sometimes . The mess your gear gets in isnt nice at all .

I try not to but the way the weather is in this country makes it near impossible not to work on a rainy day . I for one would be skint if I didnt work at all on wet days

good point. sitting waiting for rain to stop is just a recipe for doom and gloom.

better to get stuck in first thing and finish earlier on wet days. a change of clothes at midday helps a lot, and a change before driving home is a must.
