anyone else had to cancel today?

[John464]

30mph gusts are normally our limit to work in on non emergency type work. The windchill is 13 degrees and the wind is at 28mph. Just sent a few of them to wood pile and the rest to help the others guys out clearing in the woods. Damn its cold.

Nothing on the go today, but yeah -30 celsius with the wind chill.....good day to be inside! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

[John464]

wow thats -22 ºF windchill here. today marks the coldest day so far this season.

 

[deevo]

My problem is with the snow - we got dumped on over Christmas and, along with 50mph winds, all of my equipment (which sits outside) is buried under 5' drifts. I had a shelterbelt cleanup job lined up along with a big chipping job and a big tree removal. All of those will have to wait until spring/summer as too much snow to get to them. Just a few ornamental pruning jobs to do now. Oh well - the kids got their white christmas and my wife will get her 'honey-do' list attended to a little sooner than I had planned.

yeah we cancelled too......dangit.....

We didn't cancel, but we only did really simple removals that involved little climbing and everyhing could just be bombed out. We didn't try to do any large, technical prunes that would involve us swinging around for extended periods of time or trying to put wood into tight spots.

Yea the problem is the chipper was gelled up and the bucket was moving like a snail so with that being said the day was long and sloooowwwwww, but we toughed it out and made a little scratch .

Didn't notice the cold to much, to busy working but I guess it was a little windy.
The worst is when you gotta take a leak and the poor thing is all shriveled up under all those clothes. You can't find it and you really gotta squirt but its buried so deep and you start to panic a little so then you start ripping and yanking... that's when you find it. Ouch! Poor guy, head's all froze, anywhere you aim its bound to blow back on you. What a nightmare.

"Nunting"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nunting is the practice of pursuing living nuns. In present-day use, the term refers to lawful nunting, as distinguished from poaching, which is the illegal capture of the nun species; also known as a sister in some cases, who has taken special vows committing her to a religious life.

Cape,

You in the need of some religion? Do you wear priest vestments when you go 'nunting'?

The tree chick from the WARM country is getting a load of the COLD!!!:jawdrop:
I'm in Boston...went for a walk today in 28 degrees all layered up but ...fet...my face nearly froze!
Got one of those balaclava thingies, and life improved dramaticly after that.
Now I just need to keep my eyeballs from freezing as I gaze in awe at the trees...

 

[BRCCArborist]

Cancelled today. We got some ice and snow outside. Still may do storm damage though if it occurs. Everyone be safe.
