During the winter what percentage of your working week are you actually able to work

I find very little change as it rains in the summer as much as the rest of the year the only difference is probably the length of the day i work but thats only about 4-6 weeks when it gets dark earlier
-
100%

I think it stays more dry in the winter just cold but dry.. love it me ;D
-
I prefer winter to summer, just those dark mornings, evenings i dont like, but the temperature is pretty good for window cleaning i think because i hate sweating my a** of in the heat.

I prefere to work in the cold but hate sub-zero for wfp, frozen hoses, paths left like ice rinks etc!

Don't know about percentage, but it sometimes dont get light till gone 9am and going dark again by 3:15pm so obviously cant do as much even if you need to catch up :(

Roll on winter, might get some decent weather. August in Devon has had more than twice the average rainfall and that was up until the 18th of this month so far, simply because the jet stream is sitting much futher south over us than usual. Definitely getting dryer days in winter than July & August as this climate change trend is going these past few years.

every day, had pole freeze solid once or twice last year took a while to defrost them.

Worked pretty much all of last winter...couple of days of high winds and rain, couple of days where the water was freezing as it hit the ground and ledges...
But rescheduled and I did not loose any income....must admit I did remove the pump box and reel from the van on more than a couple of occassions.
Plan my work days around 09:00 - 15:30 during the summer and winter so...have a clear idea of my income throughout the year.
Cheers
Dave.

There`s a big thread on this that will give you all the answers,i had a 500ltr tank last year and used about 330mls,i think that`s how much is in a can of coke.
