Well...it depends on the type of work......building a house or say putting a clutch in a truck outside can be pretty brutal.......doable.....but brutal at zero degree F........but running a saw felling, limbing and yarding at zero is quite enjoyable ...ground is hard...no bugs....and you're working hard enough to stay warm......

I worked in a steel mill 24 years , summer time it was always over 100 in a lot of places in there . When we had to work in between the furnaces , it would be 130 - 140 in there . Take breaks and drink lots of water ! When it got up to or over 90 outside they would give us gatorade and stuff like that to drink . No way they would stop running ! Even had a bomb threat once , wouldn't let us leave the machines !! We raised a lot of hell about that one , didn't do any good ! AK Steel is some serious a-holes to work for !!
