N.O.A.A./Wind Chill Chart - https://www.weather.gov/safety/cold-wind-chill-chart
As far as our work goes...
We manage and manipulate water - That's what we do.
Water freezes at cold temperatures (@32 F)
- Make sure your water discharge hose is long enough to reach grass.
- Do not discharge any water across active parking lots.
- Check the end of your discharge line for obstructions or diversions.
- Have some salt in your truck to use if you spill water outside in the cold.
- Check you tire pressure, it goes down when it's cold, and up when it's hot.
- Have a charged cell phone, a USB battery back-up charger, and the charger itself.
- Double-check you have a scraper and brush in your vehicle.
- Smacking your fingers/hands in the cold hurts a lot, gloves provide padding.
- Skin dries out in cold weather, use lotion/moisturizer to keep your skin flexible and protected.
- Slow down on your way to and from locations.
- Expect delays.
- Get there safe. Get home safe.
