Anybody working outside today?

[groucho]

It's days like this that I feel jealous of all you office workers, being in the nice and cozy warm.
I've got to go out and freeze my nuts off all day, and of course me pinkies, on somebodies roof.

Anybody else work outside here? anyway summer will be here soon enough.

No it won't. I'm counting the days, and it seems like an age away.

You know what they say...Hope springs eternal.

I've never heard anybody say it though.

Oh well..time to put my extra pair of trousers on then.

Work in an office now but used to be a scaffolder. Will never forget what it's like on these cold mornings to pick up a "21" & have it stick to your hand with it being so cold.

I remember scaffolding a chimney while it was snowing. About a foot of snow on the roof & the snow freezing on contact with my hair & eyebrows !!!!

You have my sympathy.

But you get the opportunity to see the beautiful sunrise that's happening out there now......


...oh, but your not there yet!

It's like this here....

Spent some time working outside at -15C. Didn't mind it too much so long as there was no wind or rain.
I figure I had it easy though. Guy who works with me now used to work in Prudhoe Bay (-27C at the moment). He goes around down here at night with a t-shirt on (0 deg here at night).
One of my mates spent some time working through a Siberian winter. He says it gets a bit nippy up there.
