Back when I was employed at a Salvation Army donation shed* at the grocery store at which I am presently employed, I soldiered on in the snow despite having only a few donors the whole day through. As for when snow hit when I became a grocery store employ, the first February since the hire (even before all that COVID mess) had a snowfall so bad on its first day, the other cart collectors couldn’t make it and I was asked to stay behind until early closing.
*The shed is no longer there as the store got tired of the accumulating, unattended donations left outside where they could get ransacked. That was when I was transferred to another branch of the same store in another part of town where I stayed until the Salvation Army’s donation program closed.
I live in New England and this year so far (knock on wood) global warming is finally kicking in and I couldn’t be happier. I do feel bad for CA and Tornado country though, sad.
I have been cooped up for days with pneumonia. Today I got out and had a big breakfast at a local restaurant. My breathing is slowly getting better and I’m not coughing as much. Stay safe and well my friends.
One of the “unintended consequences” of an uncentralized command-and-control like our democracy is that it is impossible to get long-term commitments from a majority of political leaders whose terms-of-office are 2 to 6 years. There are many, many advantages to democracy but don’t bet on us staying ahead of climate change.

Exxon knew all about climate change decades ago, but chose to mislead the public anyway.
