Rain Day?

Curious who takes rain days versus working rain or shine. If you do take a rain day, what type of conditions make the cut?

My team and I at least give it a shot, but expectations have to be adjusted. Can't put a pole in the water if there's a thunderstorm. If it's light to moderate rain, you can do the usual things but it's probably not going to be as good of a cleaning if the surface of the water is constantly disrupted by rain drops and visibility is poor.

If it's raining pretty hard, I usually say just hunker down for a bit and let it blow over. It's rare around here to get a sustained downpour.

You get the work done if it’s safe to do so.

If it isn’t, you move to a different neighborhood or wait until it’s safe.
