Post by: Rob.Hall on September 19, 2007, 02:01:15 pm

As you know I am going wfp..(Gear arriving tomorrow). Cant quite feel the squeegy slipping out of my palm yet though.

What weather conditions stop you using your pole?

From what I've read winds over 120mph accompanied by rain exceeding 4 inches per hour. ;D

Sorry too Rob. Part of the reason for going wfp is that it can be used in all but the most severe weather conditions....of course that's the theory but you'll have to win round your customers :(

Thanks Nat.

I guessed that would be the answer...but one never knows unless one asks.

Good job I checked or I might have been out their in 125 mph winds + 8 inches of rain. :o

A bit of light rain is no problem.

Winds like today?
Forget it.

As you're leaving wet windows the wind blows dust onto them which impurifies the droplets, and dries as spots.
