I have worked with lying snow and clear roads. But it depends on how urgent the work is.

Last night's snow didn't stick, but the side door of my van was frozen shut earlier (about 7 am).  It was minus 3 so my system might be unusable anyway.  Will nip out to test it later (if I can open the door).

Can't believe after what I said, I've done 2 hrs this afternoon so far and earned £100 so it's not too bad, I'll carry on now after a nice coffee in the sunshine☀️☀️

I had other things to do anyway.  I did end up getting about 3 hours work in eventually.  I always earn a good hourly rate when I know I'm only doing a part day, because I know I won't have to sustain that speed all day long.

How do you even work in daytime temps of -5°? I can manage down to -2° with cold water but it’s no fun and borderline dangerous leaving water on the ground. At those temps there’s no chance I’d even attempt it.

The app is a forecast not a measurement.
