Working in the elements my whole life I always liked winter over summer. You can always put more clothes on if your cold but when its hot you just stay hot.
I always felt for those folks who worked at Owens Corning Fiberglass in Fairfax Ks. I used to have to go in the once a month to monitor elevations on fan motor bases and column pads supporting the ovens. It was always hot in there summer and winter Think glass blowers shop in branson or a blacksmith shop. We would have one location under the main oven we would have to get readings on 12 columns. It took about 10 minutes it was so hot your heart raced and you could feel every pump. It was actually hard to think straight and if you touch the steel on the column it would burn. They actually had a rule that work under the oven could only go for 10 minute interval then you had to come out and into an air conditioned hut on the outside. We would come out pouring sweat and shirt and jeans soaked hitting the ac actually made you feel worse as you got sluggish and cold shivers. It was double overtime so we volunteered but that was the worst.
