I truly hope that the upcoming winter will have temperatures as mild as what we have had this summer. We have had a few hot days but nothing extremely bad. Hopefully we will not see the hideous cold caused by the Polar Vortexes from last year.
I have no problem with some snow but I certainly hope any snow we get is at least something not extreme. I have no problem driving in snow but there are entirely too many people out there that believe that there vehicles traction is the same as warm and dry weather regardless of what is on the roads.
Hopefully there will also be a bit more thought going into what conditions outside workers are required to work in. Last year during the worst snow it was decided that we were not going to be working because it was dangerous just to get to the locations let alone do the outside work. About 5 of us were already at the shop and a bunch of others were on the road headed that way before the decision was made. I am very glad that decision was made but would it not have been better to make it early enough that no one was on the road? There was already like 11 inches of snow on the ground before I left home and the snow was to continue for several hours.
