Business Benefits of Warm Spell

Businesses forced to a halt by November’s bitter chill are getting an unseasonable opportunity in December.  For at least the next two weeks, temperatures across much of the nation will be downright balmy; relatively speaking.

Thermometers in the Central Plains could remain in the 50’s & 60’s for days on end without much rain interrupting outdoor productivity.

Remember the dramatic Arctic Blasts that froze us in our tracks last month?  Anticipate that Christmas week.  Then add snow or ice!

While the first large weather system (around the 21st) will be liquid, those that follow will not.  Expect to go from highs in the 50’s & 60’s to highs in the 20’s.  The biggest change is that the frigid temps will be accompanied by a much more active, wet pattern.

Nobody ever wants to bring in extra workers over Christmas unnecessarily.  That’s why we hope our timing is a little off.  If Old Man Winter wants to postpone storms a few days, it’s all right with us.
