24. "RE: winter wonderland"
In response to message #19
 
   Having worked on the North Slope of Alaska I can tell you that it is, INDEED, not fun to be outside wrangling wire. If you are lucky the wire stays together and you move on in an hour. If you're not lucky, the wire snaps (either completely or internally), and you spend the next 4 hours putting wire in your armpits so you can bend it properly without breaking the new stuff.

The department lines between wire guys and I.T folks was non-existant so if camera needed to be put up at -30; oh boy, I get to drive the bucket truck and hope my hands don't freeze if I have to take them out of my gloves.

Coldest weather I was in was around -70 to -80 with windchill. Forgot my gloves to start my rig, and from the time it took me to walk to the exploder, start it, and walk back, I couldn't feel my hands.
