Working but cold

I don't know about you guys but i cant loose the valueable days i have to work. On my to installation jobs they are excavated, topsoiled, fertilized and ready to plant, full swing with clean ups and mulching, have been doing tree work all winter and kind slow in the brick paver market because it is stationary work which allows you body to feel the effects of the weather

What are my fellow brothers and sisters doing in regards to this cold weather?????????

Living in Phoenix. I'm a big wuss in cold weather.

Seriously, we've had the coldest winter I can remember here. Temps down in the mid teens for a few nights. Thats REALLY cold for us. Lots of brown FICUS nitida and Agaves that look like frozen lettuce around town. The question most often heard from homeowners all February, "Is my Ficus dead?"

3-5" of snow forecast for tonight. We start a driveway excavation today...guess we'll be the first to shovel snow off of it tomorrow.

We are paying for our freakishly warm January with a second April snowswtorm. I'm ready to take off the top two sweatshirts.
