I dont think I will be working (or at least for money) tomorrow if the weather report is right.
They are calling for dense fog on the coast. If there is fog in the morning, I will miss the slack tide and cant haul the traps I want. The day will be shot.
Oh well, fixing up a camper for a hunting camp inland in my days off.

Ususally when it rains, we get pretty slow. Or if there's a cold spell. This year has been very slow overall though. I see from the other "auto mechanics" post that it's not limited to me.
I'm a motorcycle mechanic by the way. No, not real motorcycles! Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha.
Ya know, that money thing is over-rated anyway!
Never bring an ambulance to a gun fight till it's over.
When it rains, as it did today in So. FL, a lot of inspections get cancelled, and others simply can not be performed.
Rain makes for a light workload. I get paid no matter. But once it clears, I'm busy as heck.
What really blows is the summer with the humidity.

Over the years, I discovered that the national weather service forcast as provided to radio stations was generally not very reliable. I would watch The Weather Channel without sound and draw my own conclusions from the surface maps.

Now I retired to a life of farming and still held captive by the weather.

If you like the idea of living dont climb a communication
tower in a thunderstorm. Rain also makes the steel very slick.
FUNCTION BEFORE STYLE
Ruric, NE OHIO,
Rain and snow sure makes my job more difficult,seems people dont know to slow down in inclement weather conditions.
Heavy snows, ice take me off the roads. Dispatch would like it if I chained up and kept on going but if the roads are bad enough to use chains, then that means their bad enough for me to park it. There's too many idiots that DO NOT know how to drive in good weather, much less inclement weather. [:0]
If it looks like it's gonna be a long wait until the weather clears, I'll find me a nice quiet bar and enjoy a few cold ones. Then I'll wait until the next day and let the road crews get the roads open and the other traffic gets rolling. Let them beat up the ice on the roads. That way by the time I get rolling, the roads are usually clear or at least pretty decent.
Heavy downpours take me off the road until they let up some.
