The timing would be perfect. The snow's almost gone and it's time to get to work on all those chores that were "frozen" in time. Thanks Frank. The timing would be perfect.

Our policy was to issue "Felt Pack" boots, "waterproof" parkas with hoods, and warm (Thinsulate) golves. Security was able to monitor employees on the CCTV system and the employees were required to carry two-way radios. Having grown up in this climate, the employees were familiar with cold weather and we never had an exposure incident. The satellite installer you mention must not work for the company that installed my neighbor's dish. He came out, took measurements and reviewed the installation then told my neighbor that it was too cold and too close to sunset to install the dish that day.
