You should be paid more than that to be on call and out there at 2 or 3 in the morning. I was paid more than that almost 30 years ago. Mind you, different currency, but still.
Do you just do snow removal for this company, or do they have other year round work?

Last winter [the coldest winter fuckin ever] I worked outdoors 40-55 hours a week. I'd only be indoors for lunch and got to sit inside a car here an there. But 80% of the time, I was outside.
After that... this is nothing. Now I'm outside no more than a few minutes at a time, which is very bearable compared to last year.

When I was in school...
It was -26 and -27 respectively, records that still stand to this day...and we walked 5 miles.
Actually school was closed those 2 days, but the WC was -60...and Jim McMahon was our starting QB.

I used to work at a sign shop from '95-2000. Installing in the winter was a pain in the ass. The billboard side would need help every so often, so I would help their crew change the 14' by 48' signs that you see along the interstate highways. Doing that in the winter suuuuuuuuuuuucked, but it paid well. Nothing like an extra 50-75 pounds of frost on a flex face sign as you're rolling it up 50' in the air. You also needed to kick all the snow/ice off the platforms, which were 2' wide. The snow would cake on and make them appear wider. Had a guy fall off a billboard because of that.
