Yes but I do work shorter days when its this cold and bust my hump when its not. I get a couple $300 days in and the weather gets frigid I watch it from inside the house.
20 degrees is ok 20 below NOT!

Right on... I worked today in 10* weather, with light breeze.

That's about the limit for me. Any colder and you have to get the car out of the wind at least, or things are very difficult to work with... too hard to keep things warm.

I will pick and choose some jobs in this weather. Try to avoid doing difficult, complicated repairs when it's really nasty.

If it's sunny and you can get the car out of the wind, like behind a buiding, with the defrost running... it's realy not too bad even at 10 degrees.

The thing that I notice as the biggest pain is as the windshield temp changes often the suction cup will let go. If you havnt cleaned enough or the glass is a little sand blasted this is amplified. So I also try to avoid the long or complicated repairs on particulary cold days. Sure do like working with the LR injector in bad weather metal injectors get cold too quick and that thick blue suction cup seams to hold better when its cold.

I'd have to admit, what bothers me more than the cold temps in the winter is that constant stream of water running from the roof line when the snow and ice start melting. I've tried a number of methods to devert this around the repair but none have been all that successful. Any ideas you guys might like to share?
