It's not snow you need to worry about, it's the ice if it freezes later you need to worry about travelling in the morning.

The biggest problem if you use wfp is the wind - try using a 60ft pole in 35 mph winds its great fun  ;D

The problem with working in snow is the effect snow leaves on the windows. Its ok if the snow has stopped but if it is snowing then theres no point. Snow has a lot of salt in it and that leaves a real mess on the glass

I worked last year or was it the year before in the snow.

And most of my customers were suprised to see me and were all fine about it.

Snow only stops me when it turns icy.
Even when traditional i have worked in the snow and on a ladder.

you maybe right  ??? but I dont understand why snow should have alot of salt in it compared to rain ? afterall its the same weather just a degree or two drop that makes difference between rain or snow.

Look how dirty your car is when the snow has dried off it, compare it to when its rained and you will see a big difference.
