Weather forecasts

Post by jimmynailsalive »

Anyone else an avid weather watcher to decide their plan of action in advance?

I just looked at tomorrow's weather and thought that's a cut-off of a day right there and then looked at Saturday's and gave a few F'in expletives as it somehow managed to look twice as bad as tomorrow. :cry :cry

You look at the weather and decide if you're cutting off???
What about looking at how much work you've got in the morning??

What with Black Friday already started early, I can guarantee as a reserve I'll be flung on some walk at the last minute because someone hasn't shown or some other reason and I'll be near last out the door.

On the subject of the weather I'm convinced it has got far wetter in recent years... I've been doing the job 15 years and at one time it only seemed to be about once or twice a month that you'd have days when you get absolutely soaked to the skin, yet now it's at least twice a week whatever the season.

Shocker today and forecast is still for a lot worse tomorrow with a hefty wind. Out early today although we still left most of oversized packets.

I find it rains more in the afternoons so the later you're out the more likely a soaking. Especially in winter. Probably yo do with it being slightly milder then and more unsettled.
