Re: Will snow cause more backlog?
yup, remember that year, got prepped, bagged up, went out on the bike & within half hour commencing delivery got a phone call to abandon delivery as it wasn’t safe enough, it was absolutely bucketing down with snowBoltonian-White wrote: ↑12 Dec 2022, 09:59I remember in November 2010 one day of snow on a Saturday created a backlog all the way through to Christmas. One office in our region cleared everything for Christmas and the other offices all failed.
2010 was heaven compared with the job now.
So yes, a backlog well into January and beyond.

I wouldn't be surprised if ST planned the snow (joke) as it now gives him the perfect excuse for post being delayed, when it's really down to the IA.
