We started installing the metal railings early the next morning. The fact that the deck was covered in a thin layer of ice and the temperature was in the 20's was certainly a handicap. I told the guys that safety was key, I didn't want anyone falling and getting hurt.
Fortunately, the snow held off all day and we were able to make good progress, but man was it cold. We were able to wrap up the railing installations and still had enough time to install the solar light caps on all the post just about when it was getting dark.
We had timed it about right because we didn't get the extra half day as forecasted. At about 6:00 am next morning the snow moved in and snowed hard for two days. But this was only round 2, round 1 was the sleet and freezing rain of earlier in the week, then the 8 inches of snow we got in round 2, and we still had round 3 coming with another 8 - 10 inches of snow.
What a difference 24 hours makes.
