[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 266962, member: 4653"] Hey Scratch, In regards to your statement about snow and "I don't know how you people up north work in those conditions", To say the least it sucks! It makes for a truly miserable day to work in a snowstorm. And then the next day is almost as bad because they usually call us off the road around 5 or 6. As you can imagine, if your route goes out with 130 stops you might be able to get 80 done if its snowing hard. So now you route has 180 the next day and you're working close to 12 hours:anxious:. What I hate the most though is the bitter cold. Because here is Boston we can have week stretches where the high is around 15. So here is where I say: I don't know how you people in Minnesota, the Dakotas, etc, deal with that all winter long? At least here near the ocean it can get close to 40 some days in January and that is great working temps for me. One last point and then I'll shut up:happy-very:, Scratch. Many drivers here complain about the heat and humidity during the summer. I absolutely love it! I feel like I really get a good system cleansing when its 95 and I lose about 10 lbs in a day!! Being in GA, you must deal with this weather 6 months of the year? Here in MA its only about 10 weeks. Does the heat and humidity take its toll on you down there?? [/QUOTE]
